It depends on the back end. The older SPICE back ends relate the numeric =
part of a spice-IO device=92s refdes to a pinseq attribute on the =
subcircuit symbol. My gnet-spice-noqsi imitates the gnetlist core =
behavior, relating the refdes on an io symbol to the a pinlabel on the =
subcircuit symbol. I don=92t know what other hierarchy-aware back ends =
do.
