But it can also reduce confusion to have the same pin appear in multiple =
places. For ACIS on Chandra, in Viewlogic, I had slotted dual opamps =
with power pins on the opamp symbol. This allowed me to be clear about =
the rails a particular opamp used for power, important in a complicated =
system with multiple power rails. But Viewlogic would warn me if I did =
it wrong and shorted one rail to another.

More recently, I=92ve been using gschem with Kai-Martin-style separate =
power symbols for this case. And I did, once, make the mistake of =
choosing a slot from a component that used the wrong rails for the =
purpose. The result was subtle misbehavior of the fabricated circuit. My =
fault, but maybe the tool could help better.
