Unfortunately, it is just that -- a pin remapping facility. Slotting in 
other EDA packages allows for much more: Different symbols that belong to 
the same entity. Hints on which sub-symbols a layout application might swap. 
And more. Compared to this, geda slotting is pathetically rigid.
In addition, there is no way to trigger reslotting from outside the GUI.
