Pipette tool and deconstruction planner usability issue

When I use the pipette tool on a piece of curved rail, I wind up with a straight rail in my cursor. This is debatably not a bug, since there's no curved rail entity I can place. But the interaction isn't great when I'm trying to build a deconstruction planner that deletes all rails. I don't think the pipette tool ought to change, but when I place a piece of rail into the deconstruction planner from my cursor, it would be ideal if that were interpreted as "delete all rail" rather than just the straight pieces.

The deconstruction planner operates on entity prototypes and doesn't support the concept of different entities being the same thing.

This is a feature suggestion not a bug report :P
