I think of Spice as limited to what spice does, circuits with 
limited probes, built-in devices, etc.  

Today, there are non-spice simulators that are usually 
considered to be superior, but very expensive, generally out of 
reach of many.  Among them are Spectre, behavioral simulators 
(Verilog-AMS, MAST, ...), "fast-spice", mixed-signal.

The purpose of gnucap is to move beyond spice, into that turf of 
the premium non-spice simulators.  I would not have bothered at 
all if the goal was to be just another spice.
