Re: gEDA-user: How to deal with single/dual parts?

The bottom line question for the core developers is:

What prevents us from writing a file of Guile functions and adding a  
line to gafrc to load it and get this functionality?

The problem here is that this approach interferes with hierarchical  
design, where some attributes will depend on which expanded instance  
you have. This is especially true if you have a parameterized  
hierarchical block. Of course, the present approach has these  
problems, too.
