Feature - Dependent Voltage and Current Sources (Diamond)

I find circuitjs1 very helpful in my learning of circuit analysis, but cannot find the traditional "diamond" for dependent voltage/current sources. Dependent

Controlled sources are available under "Active Building Blocks" but not the diamond notation, because that would require the controlled source element to be connected to another element and I thought that it would be hard to make a reasonable UI for that. Instead, controlled sources look like a chip, with the control voltage/current as input(s).

Actually we could have the voltage controlled sources refer to labeled nodes for voltage. And current controlled sources could refer to ammeters, which could have a label added.
