Hi All, First off congratulations to everyone involved with KiCon for making it a success and the great progress that is happening with Kicad at the moment.
I've been following Dave Vandenbout's work on SKIDL [1] a while but his talk [2] at the conference on SKIDL really showed the power that programmatic circuit design could bring to electronic design especially with a simulation/optimization loop. To that end I wondered weather it would be possible to include the netlist output from a SKIDL script into a traditional schematic, allowing for the best use of both worlds? Given that we currently have subsheets that can be reused multiple times, could it be possible through the inclusion of a netlist reader into Eeschema to read either a netlist file directly or the result of executing a SKIDL script and incorporate that back into the larger netlist? I can imagine a type of hierarchical sheet where the user can specify the nets to be shown as sheet pins, which would be connected to the matching nets from the netlist file. My question to those with more knowledge of the current netlist generation algorithm is how possible this would be?
