+1 for nc since ICs have pins that are labeled that way.  Would the DRC just
ignore it, or would the DRC complain if it was connected to anything?  I
could see people still wanting to connect a nc pin to a test point or a
header because they want to check for shorts, or if there is a chip rev that
adds extra functionality to that pin in a package.   

I would also like to see a pwr_src pin type which would be the output of the
voltage regulator (or source).  That way the DRC would warn you if you
shorted two power sources together or if you forgot to hook one of your
power input pins to the power plane (and only connected it to a capacitor
instead).
