Different layers. "unknown" is is the appropriate return when the back end will simply put the result in the output file. #f is the appropriate return when the back end will process the result. So, the high level factor, (gnetlist:get-package-attribute) should continue to yield "unknown", but I would agree that it would be beneficial for the lower level (gnetlist:get-all-package-attributes) to yield #f. Although perhaps '() would be more consistent.

This message contains technical discussion involving difficult issues. No personal disrespect or malice is intended. If you perceive such, your perception is simply wrong. I'm a busy person, and in my business "go along to get along" causes mission failures and sometimes kills people, so I tend to be a bit blunt.
