So simple!  Thanks!

I've made this edge connector with 4 pads for each netted pin number to
create pads on 2-sides of the board AND pads with half-round/half square
pads.  (like a real old-school chunky .156 edge connector should have!)

Is there anything tricky the netlister or PCB's use of *.net I need to
know about when they're confronted with four of each pin/pad?

Here's the footprint with all pads except #1 deleted ... there are four
(4!) #1 pads.
