Now consider that there are parts like 1N1183 and 1N1183R where the only
difference is which electrode is connected to the nice big metal body.
It's becoming increasingly clear to me that gEDA needs another level of
abstraction if we want to avoid having a symbol library consisting of
one symbol for each and every part and its variants. (And I think we
should avoid that.)
I'd like to be able to place a DIODE symbol on my schematic and only
figure out later which PART I need. The pins should only get their
footprint numbers once one has chosen a specific orderable part with
which one wants to implement the function. I don't like the idea of
having to delete a 16C2550 PLCC from my schematic just so I can re-add a
16C2550 TQFP.
I wish I could show something more concrete but for now I can only do
some handwaving while I try to piece together exactly what I think I
need.
