+   The string inside the parenthesis will be evaluated if possible.
+   Example:
+  </p>
+  <pre class="code"> expr(@W * @m )</pre>
+  <p>
+   Will be replaced by the product of @W * @m, if @W and @m can be resolved to numbers.
+   If not the expression will be left as is with the substituted parameters.<br>
+   Suggestion: always put a space after a @param, otherwise xschem will not recognize
+   the correct param name.
