But with this approach we would evolve to thousand libraries, different for
every user... we should be much careful and offer only good-quality close to
standards symbols. If some country have little differences, then we can
offer optional symbol.

IMHO the soultion may be set of alternative libraries, each have same set o=

I already use this approach because I have my own style of schematics (insp=
