What do your propose we set the copied net names to: pick a net name
from the schematic and hope it is correct or make up some new nets and
hope that is correct? If we don't clear them, they will be set to the
same nets as copied objects which will tied all of the shared net names
together which may or may not be correct. I have yet to hear a good
suggestion on how to resolve this issue so clearing them an forcing the
user to set them to the correct name seems like the safest bet.
