Perhaps a little lighter with respect to more hardcore computer
related binary stuff, but there are other devices that are *perfect*
for analog signal handling, such as analog multiplexors and
transmission gates.  Perhaps you could let us know what kind of
devices TTL offers that you'd like to emulate in CMOS.  Very often, a
simple combination of basic elements will yield what is desired.  And
as you say, power consumption is next to nothing, so a small increase
in package count will not seriously affect power supply design.
