Title:
  gschem: better support for split symbols

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  It is good practice to split some features of integrated components
  into a set of different symbols. If all parts of a component receive
  the same refdes atrtribute gsch2pcb correctly unites them to a single
  component. However, there are a few issues:

  * The DRC backend of gnetlist complains about multiple assignments of
  a refdes. These false positives reduces the value of this important
  check.

  * There is no way for gsymcheck to examine consistent definition of a
  set of symbols.

  * There is no check whether all splits of component were included in a
  schematic.

  Suggestion: Split symbols should be supported much like slotted
  symbols are. Have attributes "numsplit" and "split". These attributes
  should allow a split aware DRC check.
