Bug Description

In gEDA 1.7.2 (gc8dcc3e)

Combining -g and -i options does not work. You don't get an interactive REPL: the back end just runs as if there is no -i.

Test case:

gnetlist -g spice-sdb -i /dev/null

This produces an output file, but does not give you a REPL.

What would you expect the behaviour to be if both -i and -g are specified?

I'd expect to drop into a REPL just before the back end executes, so that I could test functions in the back end interactively.

Is that what it used to do, historically? Just want to make sure that I'm not going to violate anyone's expectations. Since it's not a "showstopper" bug, I'm tempted to leave it as it is in 1.8.x, and change the behaviour in the tree that I'm not trying to stabilise at the moment... WDYT?
