Hi-ho! Hi-ho! It’s off to work we go!

I found exploiting this to be seriously unstable, but if you draw a slab that ends lower than where it started, the slab will be marked as belonging inside a solid because it’s one solid cuboid and then your dudes will mine it out. You can then just remove the slab once it’s done.
