searches for overlapping drill hits, and generates a new drill file with
those hits converted to a single slot (G85 entry in the drill file).

The types of slots that can be produced with this tool are limited: they must
be straight lines and must have the same thickness throughout. Slotifier uses
For best results, the designer should ensure that mergeable holes form an
approximate straight line and use the same tools.
