The gschem/libgeda Scheme API:

- Is completely inconsistent in naming and calling pattern.

- Has no useful documentation.

- Lacks the ability to do meaningful manipulation of schematics/symbols.

- Fails dismally at coping with having multiple schematics/symbols open at
once.

- Barely deserves to be described as an "API".

You asked.

Of course, if you want to be able to do what you described, I'm quite happy
to take a 6-month sabbatical and make it possible -- you'll just have to
pay me. [1]
