I think it is important but I'm not sure when I'll have time. I wonder if maybe just a "nopaste" flag for pins/pads is enough.

so actually, I ended up looking this instead of sleeping like I should have been doing.

Having the paste patterns shown explicitly and having a way to explicitly create a paste pattern would be the general way to do it. Same thing for the solder mask. There have been lots of times where I just wanted a rectangle cleared of solder resist. that is not tied to a part.
It should be possible to create a no soldermask area by defining a polygon of a not-same-group-as layer, then changing the soldermask clearance to suit, then not sending that layer to the fab, so you get no copper there either? Where there's a will, there's a way...and maybe later some direct editing of soldermask and paste layers WOULD be a good idea.
