Picture me in stunned silence for a minute. ok minute over.

If you really want to understand please read on but keep in mind I was
mostly thinking out loud.

First I want to say at the current time this is a deep blue sky idea.
Basically I want gschem to have changeable HIDs like PCB but better.
The idea being that gtk migrations or changes off of gtk would be
easier. gtk itself used to be great but it has gone off on some weird
bends lately. I am not a fan of QT ether. Eventually something else
will happen merging both of them or replacing at least one and I want
to be able to easily slot something else in there.
