I'd like to have toplevel attributes in schematics which override
some configuration variables and affect only the schematic they're
in.  Changes in those attributes would affect the schematic page
immediately.  This is per page configuration.

And there might be just a button/menu entry in gschem to apply
changes in all configuration contexts which have been made during
editing session.
