While refactoring gnetlist, I've encountered a few quasi-synonymous terms which seem to refer to subtly different concepts: component <-> device <-> netlist <-> package <-> symbol Not being a native speaker, I'd like to ask you what you mean when using these terms, and what you understand to be the difference between them. Also, what's the difference between a pin and a net, and between a uref and a refdes? (If it's the same thing, why are there two different names for it?)
