I agree that the problem should be solved in a way that does not produce
a "caveat end-user".  The end-user needs correct feedback.  The idea that
Jeff proposed sounds relatively easy to incorporate into magic, forcing
contacts to be a multiple of the squares pitch or else flagging it as an
error.  The "exact-overlap" rule could be similarly extended to allow
overlaps at multiples of the contact squares pitch, which would reduce
the number of situations in which magic generates DRC errors where none
exist.
