Quickfort will intelligently break large areas of the same designation into appropriately-sized chunks.
Stockpiles and zones
--------------------
It is very common to have stockpiles that accept multiple categories of items or zones that permit more than one activity. Although it is perfectly valid to declare a single-purpose stockpile or zone and then modify it with a `#query` blueprint, quickfort also supports directly declaring all the types on the `#place` and `#zone`blueprints. For example, to declare a 10x10 area that is a pasture, a fruit picking area, and a meeting area all at once, you could write:
#zone main pasture and picnic area
nmg(10x10) #
And similarly, to declare a stockpile that accepts both corpses and refuse, you could write:
#place refuse heap
yr(20x10) #
The order of the individual letters doesn't matter.
Note that while this notation covers most use cases, tweaking low-level zone parameters, like hospital supply levels, must still be done with a `#query` blueprint.

Note that for blueprints without an explicit label, we still need to address them by their auto-generated numerical label.
You can then hide the blueprints that you now manage with the `meta`-mode blueprint from `quickfort list` by adding a `hidden()` marker to their modelines. That way the output of `quickfort list` won't be cluttered by blueprints that you don't need to run directly. If you ever *do* need to access the managed blueprints individually, you can still see them with `quickfort list --hidden`.

* If you use the `jugs` alias in your `#query`-mode blueprints, be aware that there is no way to differentiate jugs from other types of tools in the game. Therefore, `jugs` stockpiles will also take nest boxes and other tools. The only workaround is not to have other tools lying around in your fort.
* `#zone`-mode blueprints can currently only initialize zones with a single activity type.
* Weapon traps and upright spear/spikes can currently only be built with a single weapon.
* Pressure plates can be built, but they cannot be configured yet.
