This seems dangerous, I have seen a few design where there are 5-10 pins
hidden under the same pin, excpecting them to be connected.
I would rather this hidden connections were indicated in some way, this
change disconnects lines and might break some users footprints-symbols
connection.

Hi all,
The attached patch prevents invisible pins from being connected using
the wire tool in eeschema.
a) If you connect a wire endpoint to the same position as a pin
endpoint, they are NOT connected visually
b) Wires and insivible pins are also ignored during netlist creation
c) This does not affect the ability of invisible power-pins to
automatically connect to global power labels
Is the current behavior of connecting invisible pins to wire endpoints
desired? Or is it just an aberration?
If there is a very good reason that pins not visible in the schematic
are able to be connected silently?

(Note the 'dangling' wire-end indication)
Cheers,
