There is a confusing collection of ways a one pin graphical symbol  
defines a net connection:

Power rail symbols use net=.

gEDA's native hierarchy uses IO symbols with refdes= corresponding to  
pinlabel= on the subcircuit symbol.

SPICE hierarchy uses IO symbols with refdes=Pn, where n corresponds  
to pinseq= on the subcircuit symbol.

Sometimes you need graphical=1 on the IO symbol and sometimes you  
don't. The rules are undocumented.

Is there a way to make this regular without sacrificing flexibility?
