Hi Peter,

        This was discussed before and there was some concern that
sch/sym files could become attack vectors for crackers.  Right now,
misformed sch/sym files, at the worst, can crash gschem (denial of service
attack), but with executable scripts the attack could be a little bit
more serious.

        However, if there is a killer app idea that would benefit from
executable code/script in sch/sym files, I'm sure it is worth hashing out
here/now.

                                                                -Ales
