+A nest whose comments also carry a `planning with cut-offs: 1=Ready 2=BestEffort` line is
+planned a second time, as Plan Cutting does after **Clear Lead-ins & Cut-offs** and **Add scrap
+cut-offs** at their defaults, and each plate is held to that line the same way. Set
+`OPENNEST_PROBLEM_NESTS_CUTOFFS=1` to plan every nest with cut-offs and print the outcomes
+without comparing them, to record a new line.

 Plates use their own cutting parameters. A plate without them uses line lead-ins of 0.15 at
 90 degrees (external and internal) and no lead-outs.
