Add the possibility to have pads Rectangular on Pins 1 in the all family.
 
If your cad support the rounded pad or a user chose to Oblong pads.
 
So it will be easy see the polarity of the components even is Silkscreen is Not printed on the PCB.

You can easily change the pad shape for all pins and have a different shape for Pin 1 to show polarity when there is no silkscreen outline.
 
Open "User Preferences > Components > Surface Mount > SOIC > Pin 1 Pad Shape"
