Adding numslots=0 explicitly defines your intention that you don't want
slotting, although I'm fine with it NOT being mandatory. I _prefer_ it
not to be mandatory - since I would like to see the slotting code moved
to a (default on) module.

gsymcheck is awfuly fussy about attributes I rarely bother including.
When I'm doing diagrams for symbols (which I don't netlist), I don't
even bother using pinseq.
