/me wonders if we should make an exception for the symbols that are *obviously* denoting hidden connections, like the down-triangle GND, down-rake "chassis gnd", or up/down arrow voltage rail symbols? Otherwise you have to explicitly name all those tiny nets connecting such symbols to each chip. The problem of powering multi-gate chips still exists too. Six vcc/gnd symbols for each hex inverter?
