Hmm, you make up a long and daunting list which is still missing the biggest 
job, bigger than all of the others put together, and then when I point this out 
you assign it to me. Thanks a lot ;-)

Awhile back, Peter B. told me he was close to reimplementing gnetlist 
completely in Scheme. That might be a sensible place to start.

Otherwise, I think I'll look at what I can do with Scheme and the existing 
front end. I realized last night that the refactoring that failed to fix the 
argument censorship bug can nevertheless allow a Scheme procedure to gather 
enough information to figure out the details of the slot assignments (because 
it can now see all of the slotdef attributes, not just the first one). The 
refactored code is present in 1.7.0. So I think I can continue to prototype in 
Scheme.
