In order to reduce the distracting clutter our ex-USSR standards did
require to have such power and ground pin info in the schematic in a
textual form. For example:
	"Connect pins 7 of DD1-DD4, DD7 and DD14 to GND.
	Connect pins 14 of DD1-DD4, DD7 and DD14 to +5V..."
That way you don't have to draw "unnecessary" pins and symbols saving
all required information.
I believe such information could be added using some script.
