Whilst it would be technically possible to take this as a more "duck typed" approach, I'd probably not suggest it.

That doesn’t fit all uses. It gets us into unresolvable arguments over thick net segments for power versus thin segments for signals. Conventions are good. Defaults implementing conventions are good. Hard wiring them is bad.

You mean if a line should be considered: net, bus, pin, ... should depend on an assigned attribute?
