I'm glad I can help.

I've looked into it and it seems that it would be quite simple to
implement as long as you add the constraint that the "parent" definition
must come before any other under the "part" section (that allows you to
simply duplicate the parent's struct and overwrite things as you go)

So I'm thinking about syntax like this:

part parent "m328"
    id                 = "m328p";
    desc               = "ATMEGA328P";
    signature          = 0x1e 0x95 0x0F;

I've hacked together a patch that implements this, but it needs some
more testing.

What do you think?

Best regards
Tomaž
