So I hear agreement that the LRM says that when you use .*, every port
of the instance must end up connected unless it was listed as unconnected
in an explicit named connection.  Otherwise you get an error.

I'm still not sure that was the intent, since I had the impression that
if there was no local net or variable with the same name as the port, it
would be left unconnected.  If anyone thinks that should be the case, they
should speak up.
