That's what my current symbol looks like.  :)

I'm considering dividing it up into two sub-symbols, however.  One for 
the driver itself, and the other showing the "power" leads (for 
decoupling caps, etc.).

I might make the driver symbol look like a typical sideways triangle 
a'la an op-amp, but there are three pins: the input, the output, and the 
source voltage feedback.  So re-using that metaphor seems like a bad 
idea--- but I might do it anyway. :)  Otherwise, it'll be just a boring 
old box with three pins.

The power-related pins, of which there are only two, would still look 
like a box with two pins on it.  My power-decoupling.sch pages are all 
just a sea of such symbols and capacitors, no point trying to clean that up.
