Upfront: regular user who uses recent KiCad versions, not one of the main 
developers.

I think this would be a great item to have. In the past I have had some broken 
"gadgets" to fix, for which I obviously did not have a schematic. Although it 
can be done by hand (which is what I do), this feature would greatly reduce the 
time needed to create a schematic (and get an idea where to start looking for 
broken parts).
