[Carl Poirier <carl.poirier.2@xxxxxxxxx>]

You know it would be useful for many designs in which the layout is
crucial. As a hobbyist, I've never done RF, but I messed up a few
high-frequency switching regulators by not quite following the template
shown in the datasheet. I give a thumbs up to this patch by Cirilo and will
try it shortly.

Regards,

Carl
