I learned how to use the Redstone dust wire systems yesterday. after some hours of fun I had discovered several problems in use of Redstone wires, and I have come up with some ideas to improve the Redstone wire systems.
1st: There should be a second type of wire, I figured it could be the same as redstone, just yellow (or any other color besides red). This Yellowstone wire would not automaticly connect to all other wire around it, only in the front and the back of it (front is the direction you are facing when placing the dust). Easily said, the yellow wire would only go straight, no corners. The corners would have to be of redstone. This makes it possible to power 4 pistons next to each other without having to dig a big hole under the pistons with redstone torches and such. http://s674.photobucket.com/albums/vv104/svenn9/Minecraft idea album/?action=view¤t=Yellowwireidea.png
All of these have been suggested before, except the redstone repeater fix. That's the only thing I support.

Steel is my body, and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death, Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works

2nd: You can not connect a redstone repeater to a corner, this problem makes a redstone repeater take up a lot of space, and is very annoying.

3rd: The redstone wire should be able to go upwards along a wall or a pillar of blocks.

Please reply if you don't understand or just have thoughts about my ideas.

As already stated, this has been suggested, but I find this fact really annoying as well.
