Re: gEDA-dev: Scheme code to read attributes

I blame sitting at the computer for eight+ hours without eating...

Is there a way from guile in gschem to get a list of symbols? I've seen 
the way to get a list attributes from an object (get-object-attributes, 
I believe, assuming 'object' encompasses symbols, pins, etc) and 
name/value from an attribute is get-attribute-name-value, but not how I 
actually get the list of all symbols.

Yes, because you have to decide ahead of time which part will actually 
end up on the board when all you really want is the electrical 
connectivity. For example, when you draw a NAND gate, do you really care 
if it ends up on a four-gate or eight-gate chip? So why do you have to 
choose right away?

Thanks,
