I have mentioned this but it seems a good time to bring it up again.
PCB thermal is always a cross. However, when I have a plane on only
one side of the pin, I want the thermal to be 'V' shaped, in other
words, I want the thermal to be only on the plane side of the pin. I
will appreciate if this feature can be added.
