Sorry, have not followed all of your posts.

One question to the professional:
Are hidden power pins really useful today?
I think they are invented in the 1970 when logic devices all work with
+5V and ground. Today so much logic voltages are common, i.e 1.2 and 1.8
and 2.5 and 3.3 and 5V. I have all these voltages in my DSO schematics,
and much more for other devices. So I think hidden power pins/nets (some
devices shipped with gEDA have it) can generate more problem than
benefit, so split symbols with separate, visible power pins may the
better way?
