Idea: Component Drawing Order

[Electro707]

Hello,

I would like to throw this out there for comments.

There are times, especially for back footprints, where one might want to draw stuff below the PCB. See below for an example, where the pin headers are actually populated from the bottom.

Where it should be like this:

One idea is to make a different element below the PCB element (boardContainer), and have all of the back components be drawn there. That is how I re-created the image above manually:

If there are components on the bottom that also draw stuff at the top, then perhaps also split the component into two (could be based off an attribute).

I like this idea. I think it would be even stretched a little further. We could abandon the .back items in the library completely and instead just have a single file per component with two groups in it - top and bottom.
