**************************************

More specifically something like:

   <auto-instance name> :== '\ms-auto:'<port name>':'<interface module name>':'<insert mode>
   <insert mode> :== 'split;'<child>,<port>|'merged;'<discipline name>
  
e.g.:
  
   top.I1.I2.I3.\ms-auto:mixednet:i0:merged;cmos3.vcc
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   top.I1.I2.I3.\ms-auto:mixed2:i1:split;sub1,in.dly
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- then tools and users know what is going on :-)
