TODO:
xpreserve comments in position
-element class definitions
    xinductor
    xv-source
    xi-source
    -e-source (VCVS)
-preserve node namespaces (within subckts, libraries, etc.)
    -find illegal SPICE node name character to prepend namespace
     e.g. @sub1.node1
-handle control statements specially
    -.model
    -.dc, .ac, .tran
    -.lib/.endl handling
    -.meas
    -.print
    -.probe
    -.param
    -.option
    -.global
    -.ic
    -.subckt/.ends
    -.prot/.unprot
    -.alter blocks
    -.end
    -others?
-option to find/evaluate .param statements?
    -HSPICE takes params, ngspice doesn't
    -logic to find when an explicit number is specified (e.g. 10k) or
     when it is a parameter (e.g. 'value')
    -create dict of .params and use as substitution keys in:
        k = v model parameters
        node names
        element values (Rxx n1 n2 'value'; Cxx n1 n2 'fc/2')
        others?
-option to make a flat output (inline everything):
    .lib statements
    .include statements
    .model statements
    others?
-store node dictionary to keep track of elements connected to that node
    -allows tracking of R-C nodes to drop C or R based on time constant
    -allows more sophisticated dropping/combining with series elements
        specifically R+R+R+R chains -> equivalent R+- (roughly) for faster sims
