I also find A) nicer because it means that maybe one day in the future
some manufacturer might come up with yet a brand new shape of physical
part, but I can just reuse my existing schematic symbol for this. All
fits in no problem.

As a further consideration, this leads into the area of KiCad that I
dislike, and that's t
omes with the
territory. As KiCad is a tool primarily aimed at engineers, I think
we'd value that flexibility more than any perceived level of safety
from mistakes. If I want to shoot myself in the foot, it's still my
foot, right? ;)

maximum deviation between a straight edge and the "true" curve to be
approximated is below some agreed delta, where people can choose how
fine a curve they want by picking that delta.

Actually, it turns out it is easily possible, if you hand-write
the .kicad_mod file manually in a text editor. [the attached] is the
result I wanted.
It works fine in PCB layo
plot every layer in total process black, except the masks which
want to be 50% grey. The reason is that a laser printer can get much
higher resolution in pure black than it can trying to halftone, but yet
I want the mask layers distinct from the solid black of the drill hit
inside it.

like to plot the drill hits as solid black discs. It doesn't have to be
a "fake" layer like my Drills example above; I'd be quite happy to
simply have a method at the Python layer for
pctl.PlotDrillMarks()

Actually, surely this isn't just the scripting API. Due to
