Actually, Krzysztof, maybe you should just go ahead and push this. We
can always back the extra hooks out at a later stage, if necessary.

Title:
  Remove unconnected net cues for netname connected nets

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This came up after a presentation with potential users.

  The red cues on the end of unconnected net was perceeved as a nice
  warning that something was unconnected.

  Their expectation was that a net connected at one end should lose the
  second cue (on its unconnected end) if the net is named. This could be
  implemented either to mean "has a netname=" attribute, or that it is
  connected to something which has one.

  This helps to preserve the semantic that "red splodge" == something to
  fix.

  We also noted that the pin cues were not nearly as visible as they
  ought to be when projected!
