Why not rename? If you constrain the solution unnecessarily, you just =
wind up with complexity.

I do import subcircuits from previous projects occasionally, and I run =
into this, rarely. I don=92t see any reason that one couldn=92t write a =
utility to manage this, but it=92s not worth the effort to me. These =
rare cases are easily managed manually.

In any case, this is most definitely not the responsibility of the =
schematic editor in a well-factored EDA toolkit.
