multimodule is more like it.  It may not be possible right away, but some day we want pages to no be
holding any extra netlist info and each page is what is inside a symbol.  Symbol module and page are then synonyms

Then you can have a top drawing and its symbols maybe have another drawing inside, or maybe they just have verilog code.
