As you know, there is incomplete work there.

If you need something that is available in one language but not 
another, make a wrapper.

In this case ....   The sources with all the fancy stuff still 
use old code "obsolete_callback" that doesn't work in Verilog.  
For now, it only works in spice mode.  This will be fixed 
before the stable release, but what to do for now?

Answer:  Encapsulate it.

So, I want an AC source ...

In spice mode:

.subckt vac (p n)
Vac (p n) AC {ac}
.ends

Now you can use it in any language.

Spice:
X1 (1 2) vac ac=5

Spectre:
V12 (1 2) vac ac=5

Verilog:
vac (.ac(5)) V12 (1, 2);

or..
vac (.ac(5)) V12 (.p(1), .n(2));
