Excuse me for tooting my own horn here, but has anyone tried my
slotting patch [1]?  It allows you to place generic symbols and then
later specialize them by *linking* (not replacing!) them to a "heavy"
part symbol that contains all the interesting attributes.  There's
also a mechanism to ensure that slots are compatible with the symbols
you put into them - basically just a check that any attributes that
exist in both the light and the heavy part, match.

I'll have to work on the "slot chooser" dialog to teach it to query
the component library for candidate "heavy" symbols that have
compatible slots, instead of looking only at components that are
already on the schematic.

There's only abstract/opamp.sym and linear/lm324-slots.sym to serve as
examples though!
