Yes, that is a pity.

Yes, it is.

I noted that problem in:
 http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/May-2011/msg00646.html

How do you propose to solve it?

Currently, when useing a symbol, it looks like this in the gschem
file:

  C 53500 46700 1 0 0 triac-1.sym
  {
  T 54600 47500 5 10 1 1 0 0 1
  refdes=TR?
  T 53500 46700 5 10 0 1 0 0 1
  footprint=TO220
  }

and if you include the whole cvs give gschem/gsch2pcb/pcb the
problem of choosing the "right" one.

If we add part of the path to the baseneme it could look like

  C 53500 46700 1 0 0 dj_delorie/symbols/nvsemis/triac-1.sym

but I propose instead to add an attribute condition like:

  C 53500 46700 1 0 0 triac-1.sym "author=DJ Delorie"

as in:

 $ grep author triac-1.sym 
 author=DJ Delorie
