Polar capacitor orientation in Circuitikz seems wrong?

Question

In general, polar capacitors seem to be drawn with the curved end as the negative pole:

However, doing this (naively) in circuitikz seems to result in a "reversed" version:

\draw (0, 0) [pC] ++(1, 0);

This can be fixed by adding the invert key to the drawing command:

\draw (0, 0) [pC, invert] ++(1, 0);

Still, is this the expected behaviour?

Answer 1

This is arguably wrong, but it's documented:

And it's like this since at least 0.6:

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[]{circuitikz-0.6}
\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}[american
    ]
    \draw (0,0) to[ecapacitor] ++(2,0);
    \draw (0,-2) to[polar capacitor] ++(2,0);
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

so I am quite afraid of changing it --- it's difficult to spot in a big circuit and can give nasty surprises.

I could try to consider it for the 1.0 release, maybe; --- also with the other thing that I do not like a lot, the fact that invert does not change voltage directions. But I don't know, I like the principle of least surprise...

update:

in the next version of circuitikz, 0.9.5, there will be a new component, curved capacitor:

Yep, I know, it's "its polarity", no "it's polarity"... Can I blame the automatic corrector?
