[Miguel Ángel Ajo <majopela@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yesterday I wrote a proposal for discussion here:

http://pads.kicad-pcb.org/p/kicad-scripting-layer  (please write your name for your color
using the top right icon, so what you write can be identified to you).

I tried not to look too much into the original Piers proposal,
to do a true top-down design (“how do I like to interact with kicad objects?”)

In the end, it looks quite much like Piers proposal, just with the difference
of Point/Size objects receiving the unit.  

I was trying to be as pythonic as possible avoiding set_/get_ methods,
and instead rely on attributes and implicit setters/getters.

The listed options are not exclusive, just different ways of doing the same.

Please feel free to write about other use cases, or copy, paste, then modify my blocks
to provide different possible interactions.

Best,
Miguel Ángel.
