    in trying to create native (eg tsmc design rule) techfiles, smaller
    pitch overhead can be achieved if "shrinks" per layer on cif/strm out
    were possible.  the trouble is that these would disconnect shapes that
    abut across cells (as each cell would shrink it's shape and so a gap
    of 2*shrink would be formed between them).  it could be avoided if
    there were a 'must_overlap' (similar to the 'no_overlap') drc rule.
    then layers that were going to be shrunk on cif/gds out could specify
    that they need an overlap >= 2*shrink, so they would still connect
    after cif/gds output.
    
    is there an easier way to get this effect ?
    
    thanks,
    /jeff
