Hello,

I am trying to write a parser for the PCB file format.

From the file format description (section 8.8 in
http://pcb.geda-project.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html#File-Syntax) it is not clear to
me what is the "scope" of the high resolution flagging by square brackets.

For example, given a symbol like this:

  Symbol['!' 12]
  (
          SymbolLine(0 45 0 50 8)
          SymbolLine(0 10 0 35 8)
  )

will the "scope" of the high definition squares extend to the children
(SysmbolLine)?

BTW: http://pcb.geda-project.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html seems to be somwhat
     outdated. Is this the current documentation or should I look somewhere
     else?

Thanks!
