Yes, I meant pcb. 
I really should have been more explicit on that. 

I feel like scripting is much moire applicable for portions of the 
layout than for the circuit. For example, repeated sub circuits are 
better served by a hierarchy of sub sheets rather than an actual 
repeat of the circuit.

this kind of tasks can be tackled in current gschem.
