Hi, Virtuoso implemented that which ease them in dealing with parameterized BUSS net/pin, easier to deal with situation interfacing to many backend tools, some of which even need varialbe pin such as BUSA[0:N] (n=0) which connects to a single wire net.
The current gnetlist already allows all sort of flexibilities to deal with similar situations. My hope is that this flexibility should not be reduced or restricted without Ales approval and other developers concensus.

Just an idea. Perhaps a simpler solution would be not to use a separate bus connection type and instead differentiate nets/buses by their names only. That's how it's implemented in Virtuoso, BTW. This keeps the number of schematic primitives low (no buses, bus taps, bus pins etc) and still is fairly robust.
