I think the essence of busses is not graphical, but an orderly list
of names in a format that the netlister can use and makes sense in terms
of thinking of the netlist.  We've been talking about verilog-ams for
the hierarchic netlist, but anything with similar buss names with
numerical suffixes such as data_out[0:9] would be a good intermediate.
