A very strange notion. Of course a backend or any other script involved =
in processing schematics could evaluate a spice-prototype attribute, but =
what good would it be? The whole point of having a specialized attribute =
is to communicate specialized information. That=E2=80=99s one of the =
strengths of the gEDA/Lepton architecture: specialized flows don=E2=80=99t=
need support in the core, and don=E2=80=99t constrain other flows.
