Probably drc2. Maybe spice-sdb.
Perhaps the most common use case that works, but uncomfortably, is the =
slotted component with separate power symbol. Kai-Martin has published =
lots of symbols for these. The difficulty of finding blunders through =
all of drc2=E2=80=99s upset with this caused me to write =

is. =E2=80=9CYour mileage may vary=E2=80=9D ;-)
