     *   Routing and Placement Rule Hierarchies
     *
     *   Routing and placement rules can be defined at multiple levels of design
     *   specification. When a routing or placement rule is defined for an object at
     *   multiple levels, a predefined routing or placement precedence order
     *   automatically determines which rule to apply to the object. The routing rule
     *   precedence order is
     *
     *       pcb < layer < class < class layer < group_set < group_set layer < net <
     *       net layer < group < group layer < fromto < fromto layer < class_class <
     *       class_class layer < padstack < region < class region < net region <
     *       class_class region
     *
     *   A pcb rule (global rule for the PCB design) has the lowest precedence in the
     *   hierarchy. A class-to-class region rule has the highest precedence. Rules
     *   set at one level of the hierarchy override conflicting rules set at lower
     *   levels. The placement rule precedence order is
     *
     *       pcb < image_set < image < component < super cluster < room <
     *       room_image_set < family_family < image_image
     *
     *   A pcb rule (global rule for the PCB design) has the lowest precedence in the
     *   hierarchy. An image-to-image rule has the highest precedence. Rules set at
