It should be the same as Spice, which is zero.  As far as I 
know, it is.

There are many issues with the Spice format that I disagree 
with, but for compatibility they remain.  It is really a 
nuisance to try for compatibility with the many variants of 
Spice.  Often the result is to not be perfectly compatible with 
any.  There are cases where trying to make extensions breaks 
compatibility, often in subtle ways that I don't find out about 
until someone reports it.  There are cases where complete 
compatibility is difficult due to internal differences.
