If its implemented, its not clear which way it needs to be implemented.

Most cases, I want the older attributes to be left as is. 
I just don't want newer version of the same 
attributes of the new version of the symbol
to be promoted to cause duplicates.

In other cases, I want to nix the old attributes, and update
the component. 

May require a switch in the pulldown menu options.

I think this is problably more of a feature that never got implemented 
than a bug.

However, I'd love to see this feature implemented.  It's pretty high on 
my wish-list for gschem.  This feature is probably something that some 
of us out here could help Ales with.  Any interest?
