Julian et al are part way there... by way of creating siftable objects of each gerber primitive.

Seems a great way to me, as it shows what that is like for possible future use in PCB.

Sounds really hard to do with any consistency with pcb structure, but pcb could just
not save it as a .pcb, and so mark it as a panelization only...where the panel parts
are not editable separately.


The rest seem harder even...
