I think the reader should preserve *all* of the information in a .sch file.
There are several reasons:
1. Net connectivity depends on spatial information. But one approach doesn't fit all
needs here. Right now, we have a simple minded netlister that reduces the net geometry in
the schematic to a netlist model in which a net is topologically a single point. But
suppose we start putting attributes on net segments ("this segment must carry
10A")? Shouldn't a back end for a layout tool that can handle this be able to see
this, figure it out?
+1 from me. Gate drive sub-circuits in power designs come to mind, as
well as Kelvin connections.
