Power pins are not special in my plan, they're just pins.  If they're
not connected to a symbol, they show up in the "other pins" table, by
name, and you can connect them to whatever you want.  I.e. there are
NO MORE implied net connections.  You just don't need the "power
symbols" any more.

Oops, fixed.

You'll notice that the CSV format at gedasymbols.org corresponds to
the table format the plugin needs :-)
