Placing over blueprints should copy the stats [complete]

When you build using robots a blueprint, then when the object is placed, it is "programmed". The type of factory is set up, limits on chests, wires, etc, are all included. With the new early blueprints, the one thing that is lacking most to me is that ability to place an object over a blueprint and have it configured correctly.

To a lesser extent, but still helpful, would be to orient an object according to the blueprint. This would be great for stuff like building belt corners and complex early game smelter set ups.

This was made in to a mod, Ghost Copier, that does implement this functionality, but I still think it would be good for the main game.

I have watched Ghost Copier in the streams and tried it myself. Awesome feature and I think it would be just awesome to have in the core game.
Unless we gonna have something like Early game blueprint placement - PACK
