    Below is my final iteration of this code ( I removed highlighting single-pin nets )

    procedure(Hilite_UnConnectedPins(@optional (SmdOnly nil))
    let((NetPinCnt PinCnt PinList ViaList)
    (PinCnt=0)
    if(SmdOnly then
    axlMsgPut("SMD only")
    else
    axlMsgPut("all pins")
    )
    foreach(net (axlDBGetDesign)->nets
    (NetPinCnt = 0)
    foreach(branch (net->branches)
    (PinList = setof(c (branch->children) ((c->objType) == "pin")))
    (ViaList = setof(c (branch->children) ((c->objType) == "via")))
    (NetPinCnt = NetPinCnt + length(PinList))
    ; when(and(eq(1 length(PinList)) eq(0 length(ViaList)))
    ; if(SmdOnly then
    ; unless(car(PinList)->isThrough
    ; axlHighlightObject(car(PinList) t)
    ; PinCnt++
    ; )
    ; else
    ; axlHighlightObject(car(PinList) t)
    ; PinCnt++
    ; )
    ; )
    when(eq(0 length(ViaList))
    if(SmdOnly then
    (ViaList = setof(c PinList ((c->isThrough) == t)))
    when(eq(0 length(ViaList))
    axlHighlightObject(PinList t)
    (PinCnt=PinCnt+length(PinList))
    )
    else
    when(eq(1 length(PinList))
    axlHighlightObject(car(PinList) t)
    PinCnt++
    )
    )
    )
    )
    when(and(eq(1 NetPinCnt) SmdOnly)
    axlDehighlightObject(PinList t)
    PinCnt--
    )
    )
    axlMsgPut("%d Pins Highlighted" PinCnt)
    )
    )
