Interesting. So current gschem busses are only a visual guide of
connectivity, with no impact to netlist. (Netlist connectivity is
determined by netnames in your example). And the behaviour seems to be,
that 'bus rippers' are generated, when we connect nets to these busses.

Coding that should be not difficult, so maybe I will add it to PetEd
soon. But I am not fully convinced that editing busses is really easier
than drawing some plain lines, at least I did not managed to draw busses
when I used gschem for the first time.
