//! Bill Of Materials generation via echo and the ```bom.py``` script. Also handles exploded assembly views and posing.
//! Assembly instructions can precede the module definition that makes the assembly.
//!
//! Assembly views shown in the instructions can be large or small and this is deduced by looking at the size of the printed parts involved and if any routed
//! parts are used.
//! This heuristic isn't always correct, so the default can be overridden by setting the ```big``` parameter of ```assembly``` to ```true``` or ```false```.
//!
//! The example below shows how to define a vitamin and incorporate it into an assembly with sub-assemblies and make an exploded view.
//! The resulting flat BOM is shown but heirachical BOMs are also generated for real projects.
//
