We're used to that.

They get exactly one composite, which ends up acting just like what we
have today - one outline, one set of drills, all copper/insulator are
on the one plain-built board.

In our previous example, you'd get (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...)

"The" pcb is a composite anyway, this just means that pcb's internal
"PCB" global variable is a composite.  Paste buffers, footprints, etc
- those are separate composites.

Of course, no reason why PCB couldn't keep multiple top-level
composites in memory - we already do, with paste buffers - but editing
them is the tricky part.  Gschem avoids the problem by only editing
one schematic at a time in a common window.
