Isn't xorn a python rewrite of most of the libgeda internals?  It's probably long and arduous to rewrite
all the lisp/scheme as C, since C is low-midlevel language.  Xorn cleanup could be the fastest way to
get a new "libgschem" working in parallel with libgeda.  libgschem would be the minimum programs and data
structures to hold gschem connections and attribs, sort through them for netlisting and schematic DRCs,
and add hierarchies of instances and buss namings such as U12<1:4> with single pins like IO7<1:4> and
somehow allow a stack of four busses to exit a symbol also.   Not sure how to name those.
Possibly DATA[0:19]<1:4>
