I disagree. We don't warn for copper text, and our arc handling is 
not very clever either. These are called known limitations. 
 
I know you bumped into one specific limitation with your current example 
so you may feel it's the important one. But in reality users won't know 
the internals so they will do random things and will bump into random 
_other_ limitations as well.
 
Instead of trying to warn for each, we should just fix them - when we get 
there. Until that, users shall know the whole thing is not a generic 
"simulate anything for me" but a dirty hack to simulate a narrow set of 
things.
 
Not only the mesher, the whole current setup.
 
Instead of spending time on trying to enumerate all possible ways it can 
go wrong and fill up the code with warnings about them, I rather spend my 
time on a more generic fix (which is really the tinyopenems workflow 
effort).

As I said, it's on the TODO. I will handle it when I get there. It's 
in the queue, please be patient.
