They carry the symbol along with the component though, right?  So if the
system doesn't know about a component in advance, it won't offer you a
symbol.

That's not what I want.  I want the concepts of symbols and components
to be completely separate, tied together only by meta-information that
says "this circuit can be represented by this symbol", and "this
component contains these circuits".
