Bug Description

Right now, AFAIK a bus can contain only pins/wires that have the same name except a last digit.
It would be a good feature if instead a bus could be formed out of wires/pins with any arbitrary name. ex an SPI bus of MISO,MOSI,SCLK pins.

provides a way of labeling wires with the same name and consecutive numbers to form a bus, but it still seems too cumbersome.
