gEDA-user: numslots=0

[Kai-Martin Knaak <kmk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another cite from the master attribute list:

/----------------------
numslots=# should exist somewhere in the symbol and be made invisible.
This is a free standing or floating attribute. If the symbol does not
need slotting, then put numslots=0 into the symbol file.
\----------------------

Why is the numslots attribute required to be invisible? IMHO, this is
a matter of style that should be up to the user.

The master attribute list explicitly requires all symbols to contain 
an numslots attribute, even if slotting does not apply at all. IIRC,
gnetlist does not care about missing numslots=0 since quite some time. 
Any objection to change this requirement in favor of:
	If the symbol does not need slotting, then either put numslots=0 
	into the symbol file, or completely omit the numslots attribute.
