I have a slight feeling it should be doing the remap _before_ rescue instead of after, but I'm at work now so I can't really poke around at it.
It's stuffing everything up in multiple ways, depending on exactly what I tell it to do and I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong. In one case, it rescues symbols that don't need it, presumably due to trying to rescue _before_ remapping; I have to go through the schematic and reassign symbols to the actual library symbol rather than the rescued one. In the other case, it gives a project that looks like it works, but clearly some state is messed up because when I save and reopen, it fails to find the symbols and everything is a question mark. I'd give you more than that but _I don't understand what it's doing_. It's really, really opaque.
