Thanks for the ideas, these are great!
I agree this plugin should be part of the core engine. I’ve mentioned in the : I do
get it, I do not want to make a free plugin, rather add the functionality into the
engine, so I have access to all the classes.
Currently I have been building around the the restrictions of a plugin since, so if I do
get the I will be looking into these improvements. In fact I think I’ll add a new
section to my post for requested ‘engine changes’.
Anyhow If I don’t get the and they’re simple changes, I’ll probably just make a PR.
But that’s a long way away 
As for the auto-layout, definitely a few bugs in there. Once I am satisfied with it, I’ll ask some
people to start testing it out and probably find a whole bunch of errors which I have to fix it
again 
It will feature multiple styles too. Right now the auto-layout is the focus of the
plugin.
