This would imply that a 'nc' should prohibit any connections to it whatsoever, so there is no chance of a connection, and that another type: 'don't care' or 'ignore' or 'unknown' or 'x' should be made that will not give an error if unconnected, but will also not give an error IF connected. >>> I would also like to see a pwr_src pin type which would be the output of >>> the voltage regulator (or source).
