I saw you mention that before, with some interest.. I'd suggested it to
Peter Brett over dinner last week, as a possibility to help support
different evolving file-formats, and for future import / export of non
"native" format files. I'm glad to see there is actually going to be
code to to this out there.

Do you have a guile API documented?

Sounds like a good direction to go in, it matches up with how I wanted
to do online per "page" / "circuit" / (insert term here) net-listing in
libgeda, and use gnetlist as just an exporter plugin framework for that.
(Perhaps letting it take charge of merging a hierarchical design).
