Yes, I never hacked gschem before so I was thinking about something
doable in a short time. Also it is language - agnostic, I can wrap my
head around lua but I'm more of a python guy when it comes to
scripting. I remember seeing a multi language scripting support for
pcb a while ago but it looked complicated. Maybe we can bless one
language and add the rest as they are needed / wanted (or convince
everybody to switch), certainly either one looks like a daunting task
to me compared to an irreverent fork+exec.  Whichever route, I'll
learn something new.

best.
