For my schematics, it exits with an error as I'm not regularly using the 
"device=" attribute.  Also, when using the option "--force", it adds 
numbers to the input/output ports which breaks the schematic hierarchy. 
After patching these things, though, it worked well with my test 
schematic.  Thanks for sharing this! :)

I translated the script to Python to make it more accessible and started 
improving a few things.  Here is my current version:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlutz/refdes_renum_slots/master/refdes_renum_slots.py

When using "--force", there are some cases in which the script breaks 
existing slotted components--I'm not sure if this is a bug in the original 
script or a translation error.  Also, numbered ports are renumbered when 
using "--force" (but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to detect 
whether a component is a port).
