Also, the LIB_IDs follow the following scheme:
library:symbol/revision.
The / (slash) character is often used in the part names (see [1]). For
'heavy library style' people like CERN, the part names in the lib need
to perfectly match the manufacturers' names. '/' as a revision separator
makes this impossible.
Would anyone here oppose changing it to something not met in typical IC
names e.g, '@'?
Cheers,
Tom
