I would be willing to take this on. It might actually make things slightly more simple for some of the logic within the cable trace system.

I will do this after #13337 is merged in.

Going to wait on this until the other cable SVG work is done.

Thanks for the bump. I re-read this and completely missed-understood the goal last time for some stupid reason. Simple one, should have a PR in for it shortly.
