Hey Orson,

Keep in mind that the symbol does not know which library it is in.  That
is determined when the library is parsed in SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE.  As long
as you don't break that, I cannot think of a reason not to unify the
symbol name but then again there are some quirks in the schematic code
that still jump up an bite me from time to time.

Cheers,

Wayne
