However, gnetlist -g drc2 reports an error on doubly used slots for multi-
symbol components, even if all of the symbols contain "numslots=0".
Is this a bug, or a feature?

Me too :-)
Can you give some examples, when the attribute is actually used (and 
useful)?

ack. With my first self drawn symbols I spent quite some time making 
gsymcheck happy. Later, experience showed, that neither all gsymcheck 
errors meant serious flaws nor did the check find all fatal errors. 
Currently I don't use gsymcheck at all and just test the symbols on the 
job.

pinseq is the other most obscure attribute. The master attribute simply 
asserts, it is used "extensively". Can anyone enlighten me what will 
actually break if pins do not contain pinseq attributes?
