Then an attribute is added or changed it will be attached to only one off the lines and then I guess it will work with gnetlist.

Igor2 and I have been fixated on the idea of placing additional
attributes on parts of nets so that you can have things like trace
width passed to PCB. I am looking at having gnetlist understand when
someone wants a star ground by looking at how nets are angled when
they meet.

There is the question of how much of gnetlist should be moved into
libgeda since I don't want to do this in scheme.
