I don't 'get' the funny US caps with curly plates though.


On CAD I do. Can be very handy when you need to indicate where the outside layer should be connected to. That can matter a lot in audio
gear.

Also indicate the negative terminal on electrolytics?


That can be dangerous. In the US we generally use the same kind of symbal but with a + sign where plus is.


Comes in handy, especially when using tantalums in power supply input filters:)


I don't use tantalums on power supplies. Saves me from having to state the MTBE (mean time between explosions) in the module spec.
