Nice!

I guess this works well with non-numeric pin numbers as well?

How would I backannotate a swap of two pin numbers?  The netname cannot
be different on two ends of a simple net.  Is the idea to route from the
bus-pins to a graphical bus, and have the netnames ripped from the bus
in the appropriate order?

If gnetlist would treat connected net segments with different netname=
attribute as not connected the visual distraction of bus rippers could
be avoided for simple busses that need to be reorderd an the ends.
