I would like to use circuitikz with TikZ. However, I find that circuitikz modifies or does not recognize TikZ labels. The author of circuitiz has commented that in the 
["released version of CircuiTikz (0.2.3) the problem has been fixed."](http://vindsnurror.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/tikz-and-circuitikz-label-conflict/)
But the problem still exists.

Does a workaround or solution exists for the label conflict of circuitikz and tikz?

Here is a simple example using TikZ v2.10 and circuitikz v0.23. Instead of getting a resistor labeled `R1` below it, I get a resistor labeled info above it when circuitikz is active. It makes no difference which environment is used, tikzpicture or circuitikz.

```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{circuits.ee.IEC}
\usepackage{circuitikz}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC,
    set resistor graphic    = var resistor IEC graphic]
\draw (0,0) to[resistor={info'={$R_1$}}] (2,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
