You may be right. Really short pins and a smart rubber band may be the
best solution. For most cases it is clear how other net segments should
move (or shrink or stretch) if a symbol or net segment is moved. We
have to code that and see if it always does what we expect -- and if we
have a clear expectation for each possible movement at all.

For symbol size: With short pins, capacitor and resistor from 
http://ssalewski.de/Peted2015.png would then have length 400, I think
that is fine.
