For the record, my tool *also* uses the X,Y,file location information
to uniquely define a symbol, but that's so that you can *change* the
refdes too, or slot, or whatever.

The only problems I've encountered with footprints on split/slotted
symbols is, if you are missing a footprint= on one of them, it's
unspecified whether you end up with a footprint *at all* or not.
