From my perspective, I don't understand why this is better.  1.7.0 warns
about undefined behaviour, and defaults to backwards-compatibility
(which makes some sense IMHO).  This script deliberately poisons the
netlist.  In my ideal world (haha) gnetlist would generate errors on
attribute conflicts. :-)

For the benefit of those who share your preference for this behaviour:
does loading this scm file from a configuration file work? :-)
