Hello,
I have a simple one.

Choosing some symbol is sometimes very difficult because it is long list 
, very long list of the same thing with just pin count varying for example.

In a future version, KiCad may address that by only displaying a single 
line for the symbol, same as a regular expression.

Example:

Pinheader[01,02]_[02..64]_[H,V]_2.00
Pinheader[01,02]_[02..64]_[H,V]_2.54
and expand that on demand.



These are all generated by scripts.

It is easy for each script to insert a field saying simply how it was 
developped and thus how KiCad can factorise all the serie

Just reserve a keyword in the parsers so that any v6 can read without 
complaining.

(property "CompactedFamily" )    <= not happy
(property "CompactedFamily" none)
(property "CompactedFamily" [01,02]_[02..64]_[H,V]_2.54mm )

Same for footprints
