[sdiy] I Invented a New Electronics Symbol (I think)

I needed a simple way to denote the 'variable resistor'
composed of the two MOSFETs in a 4069UB gate when both
Vss and Vdd on the package are grounded.  I am getting
tired of using the full MOSFET symbols.  I think this
looks cleaner and facilitates a more clear picture of
what the circuit is doing.  The resistor part denotes
the drain to source conductivity and the isolated gate
part denotes the super high input impedance of the 
transistors' gates.  The ground symbol is part of it
because it cannot be separated from it when the 4069UB
is used this way.  Pin numbering should make construction
simple.
