On one hand, I don't want this thread to turn into a whole bunch of
random feature requests, lest improvements on what we already have get
lost in the noise. On the other, I'm *ALL* for this, I really like the
idea of comments that exist in a sort of "layer" that can be switched on
or off. For instance, let me put layout comments in the schematic, and
then hide them later when debugging. And put debugging comments and hide
them earlier when doing layout. Etc...
