The component clearance DRC is new and is not as sophisticated as we would
like it to be.... Another has already written about ways to deal with the
DRC side of this, but I wanted to note that, for exactly this application,
I made the light guide part of the LED footprint. It might be better from
the point of view of BOM generation, however, to have two separate
components locked as unions.
