Thank you Tim! You point out the strengths of the "loose spec" far better
than I have been. And based on that, I'll now have a module that will adhere to
the Type I spec, but allow left or right 90-deg turns (with 32x32 or smaller
neighboring modules, but I suspect there will be plenty of those), and with a
little more work that same (still in spec!) module can be quickly adjusted to
break spec and allow two left turns (turning the line 180-deg) and/or spliting.
The secret is 10xn modules. Beautiful!

Yes, I really need to update my list (like, make it a readable format) and
