If I want to attach some text that can be edited in the schametic but does 
not have a special meaning for any other tool, I introduce a visible 
symbol "component-label=".

Do you find gsymcheck actually useful? 
Last time I tried checked, it produced way too many "warnings" and even 
"errors" in my symbols which are proven to work fine with the ordinary 
gschem/pcb workflow. E.g., a missing device= attribute is considered an 
error. If there is no numslots attribute gsymcheck issues a warning. 
unless I missed something, gsymcheck does not seem to be adaptable to 
local needs, short of patching the source.
