Bug Description
I think it would be great if we have a well define API from Cpp, and can be access from python to read, write import objects in pcbnew, and eschematic.
This allow:
* Others can develop separate code to convert/translate to difference file format for ECAD simulation
* Whatever file format Kicad change in future do not effect and external code
* Event main KiCad itself should use this API. So any new file format do not impact the code already work.
* New file formats may be access naively when some one can implement to support current API interface.
* Someone can create a converter from netlist to schematic. Or a simulator result mode to schematic model.
Importance object mostly to allow to do simulation on schematic level or pcb level.
