Comment 10 for bug 593944

I am new to Kicad, however I have been designing PCBs on dozens of packages or the last 35+ years. 'PIN SWAPPING' and 'GATE SWAPPING' are more important and more necessary with denser boards. Yes, in most cases in help improve the overall appearance of the board, but it's real objective to make the routing of the board easier, and in some cases, POSSIBLE. as long as the signal integraty is maintained, the netlist can change easily. For the Schematic to keep up, however, it can be challenging. Is signals are all named and assigned directly to component pins, without connection lines, then backannotating is just a matter of updating the signal names. That creates schematics that can be difficult to read. It is easier to move PIN NAMES, PIN NUMBERS and REFERENCE DESIGNATORS. If the Symbols permit Pin names & numbers to be exchanged between swappable gates and pins, and the Reference designators moved as needed. This allows unnamed signals and connecting lines. Making the schematics more readable. Also SETS of pins should be treated like gates, like input & output pins in an octal buffer or latch.
