Ok, the only thing that should be part of the spec is that an ID is=20
unique for the life of the drawing. Because a filename cannot be=20
used twice, this will basically be automatically enforced by using a=20
directory.
However, I would like to have some part of the file naming be in the=20
spec. Namely, requiring a "*.yml" pattern for all rhizopod files=20
would be good.
However, if we are going to be able to lay hands on all of the=20
geometry with a simple typeglob, the "drawing.yml" and other items=20
break this. This is where storing the geometry in a subfolder helps.
geometry/*.yml - all of the geometry files
layers/*.yml - all of the layer files
