Perhaps a new flag for pads that means "non-net copper" ?  Then
"square,nonnet" (for example) tells 'o' to ignore that copper when
determining connectivity, but DRC would still check it for
manufacturability.

In theory, we could support that flag in *any* object, but I'm not
sure how to manage the relationship between, say, a non-net trace on
an inner plane and the schematic/netlist.  I asked someone who used a
BigName EDA package how they did it, and they had a completely
different class of object for these - a net-linking object in the
schematics, netlist, and layout.
