It would be really nice if, when a duplicate refdes was found, that the
system would provide some notification and/or ask permission to link the
symbols. That would require a unique ID attribute be assigned to each
symbol, then their could be a delimited list of 'linked' IDs as a second
new attribute. This would also provide a method to preserve
autonumbering across split components/symbols. ('No the op-amp in the
bottom-left corner *needs* to be on the same chip as the op-amp on the
bottom-right. DFNSDK GM HG SHK gnetlist!!!')
