Re- gate swap and pin swap.
This is a missing feature (very useful one) that would require a couple of
fields in the library.
I'll use the example of a hex AND-gate.
When we lay out the PCB, it can turn out that if we swap gate A with gate B in the package, it
eliminates a via. Same thing happens with the two pins of the gates.
There are some autorouters that know about swapping.
A pin in a symbol has a swap number - 0 means un-swappable - any other number is swappable with pins
with the same number.
Same thing at the gate level - there is a swap number.
While routing the board, you can swap pins and it gets back annotated to the
schematic.
