Part / subpart combined with ~ prefix - Roland Melkert - 2020-03-28
Why is 165.dat (and many others) considered a part (in !LDRAW_ORG)
It will mess (among other things) with fake seam processing.
And you can't just assume the ~ means subpart ether as there are countless 'obsolete' dat files using the same prefix.
I'm working on this for a bug in LDCad, but I'm not sure this is a 'real' bug or a wrong .dat header issue.

That would help the fake seam detection.
But thinking there will always be exceptions I also decided to create a new (shadow) meta (!LDCAD HINTS) to override fakeseam behavior.
