Hiding a net is even more hacky.

I'd modify the footprint, so that two pads are associated with one pin of 
the symbol. Just attach the same pin number to the two pads. So the 
symbol contains 11 pins that connect to 22 pads of the footprint. This 
approach keeps the notion that the schematic handles nets while the 
layout deals with the shapes of components.
