This is called elaboration or uniquification in the ic world. If you
instantiate a component x times with different attributes then you need to
expand it to x copies that each show one set of attributes. It is a step
you must do before flatting.


We also need a way to support adding schematcs to a schematic as well as
symbols. If you are doing a stereo amp then you do one schematic of a
channel with XXX in every instance name and net name. Then you add that
schematic to your design by macro replacing xxx with right and again
replacing xxx with left to get both channels.
