Auto enforce is close to a "future desired feature" in concept.
I wish for ability to "herd traces" according to design rules.
then you could use a buss layout tool plus some line drawing and via placement
followed by herding them along a wall of "already done" layout, or maybe against
a defined keep out zone also.

That would combine the best speed ability of human judgement with
machine automation of layout for the important zones where autorouters
fall short.
