Good point.

The last batch has two goals:

1. fix a long-standing annoyance that deleting a line segment will
delete the entire length of wire, even when I want to delete only a
short piece. http://psi5.com/~geier/wires.ogv shows what I mean.

2. prepare for net ties -- these need to split nets, so having code in
place to split wires at certain points will have nice synergy effects.

For the most part, I've been posting these as a heads-up and RFC; if the
benefit is obvious, it's fine to apply them, but I'm not unhappy if they
aren't applied immediately, because I'm more interested in things that
are obviously wrong or that I've overlooked, and my patch stack is
rebased on top of the current state every time I update anyway.

"Serious" patch submissions start with a [PATCH 00/nn] mail that doesn't
contain a patch and explains the rationale fully, and have longer
descriptions in each separate patch (and incidentally, it'd be nice to
keep those somehow).
