The netlister provides a function to do this. If the bus notation of the target netlist language matches our notation, we pass it through untranslated. For extra credit, translate our bus notation to a different target bus notation.

This sounds like a very good idea.

I assume a net must have the same name in all ends of the bus and. For a net connected to one bus the bus name could simply be added before the net name but for a net connected to several buses?
