Please close it.  This was already merged.  The following notes are in
the spice-sdb source:

Actually, I think this is a new program by the submitter.  Personally,
I see no reason to reject it.  We can have multiple refdes numbering
utilities IMO.  We already have at least four ways to number refdeses:
the Scheme stuff in gschem,
refdes_renum, grenum, and now this one.  Let's discuss what to do with
it on Sat instead of just rejecting it.  Why piss off a potential new
developer?

It's like the proliferation of boxsym utilities.....

I wonder if the requested behavior is already taken care of by
*boxsym?  (* = dj, and one or two others.  They are on
gedasymbols.org.)  Otherwise perhaps this is a good project for me
during the code sprint?  (Although I do have some other plans
already.....)

If desired, we can converse about these in real time on Sat via IRC.
