PCB requires all connecting copper to be the same net(name). gnetlist
needs to resolve merged nets to a single net.  That happens now for
hierarchy, except when a subcircuit shorts two higher-level nets.  This
could probably be fixed, with a warning and some arbitrary choice how
the net is named.

There is no instance view in gschem.

NB, when resolving hierarchy, gnetlist keeps the netname of the outer
level.  Sometimes I'd wish it would keep the subcircuit netname.  This
would also resolve the case when a subcircuit shorts two outer nets.
