Comment 5 for bug 1783249

Any thoughts from the developers on how you feel about this issue, or when it might be implemented? Even if you triage it for later down the road, I still feel it would be a very welcome and useful addition.

Meanwhile, I can forcefully retain solder mask under silkscreen, to allow "printing silkscreen on bare copper", using bobc's python script to modify the gerbers as follows: `~/dev/KiCad/utilities/bobc/kicad-utils/scripts/gerber_combine/gerber_combine.py myBoard-F.Mask.gbr -s myBoard-F.SilkS.gbr -o myBoard-F.Mask_NEW.gbr`. This subtracts the F.SilkS layer from the F.Mask layer, thereby forcing solder mask to remain under all silkscreen. It's an okay work-around for now, but it would be much better if it was all doable inside Pcbnew. Then it would be easier, faster, and we'd be able to see everything rendered nicely in the 3D viewer.
