Side-by-Side Redstone (using Copper)

We are going to get a brand new material in 1.17: copper. Copper in real life is a really good electric conductor, and is commonly used in many electrical devices (and especially in wires). What if we could coat redstone dust (either in crafting or by using the item on redstone dust) with copper, and make it be separate from other redstone lines (as if the copper were containing the redstone to one line of blocks)? Copper coated lines would connect only to other copper coated lines, and regular redstone lines would only connect with regular redstone lines. This could allow redstoners to more efficiently compact machines down (a lot), and could make long side-by-side two-way redstone lines a fun possibility.

  If this it the case then we should also have a device that will convert signals. A copper connector. This would have one that would receive ansignal and the other to connect it to the different wire. So if you put redstone on one end and copper on the other it would convert that redstone signal to a copper signal. Same in reverse.

  Additionally copper wires should be able to stack up vertically

  It perhaps we should change the name of the device that connects redstone and to a copper outlet similar to a regular out let in that it diverts power from a source to another device.
