Represent multiple bypass caps with one symbol

Is there a way to represent, say 20 bypass capacitors of the same value using just one symbol to represent all of them? I have seen this on other schematics for example C10-30 to represent 20 capacitors of the same value between +5 and GND with the symbol at the output of the +5 supply.
Having a string of 20 caps at the bottom of the schematic can start to really use up space.
Thanks

Put them into hierarchical sheet? It just doesn’t look good, I admit.

stack them over one another, hide the designators, and add a manual text?

HA! that’s too “outside the box” ; )
For the few caps I have I think that will work just fine.

Thanks to all

I think @halachal just has a bigger box than most.

Why is schematic space an issue?
Stack them and inevitably someone will come along later and say “why did you only use one decoupling capacitor”
