Another thing while you're working on the module format:

It would be useful the so-called 'playground', i.e. a bounding box
comprising the required reworking space. It could be even used during
DRC for detecting overlapped components.

The playground should be a simple bounding box, but manually defined
(since, for example, BGA requires a lot of tooling space for inspection
and replacement, while a simple MLCC only needs space for tweezers)

The IPC standards explain all in detail but it can be implemented in
a simple way.
