Wire hops in SmartDraw

When the lines of two (right-angle) connectors have an accidental intersection,
the appearance is of four lines at right angles, extending in four directions.
This is confusing, especially since, in theory, these could be two connectors
which are tangent:

                ^
------->   and  |
                |

or maybe

   ^
---/    and   /---->
              |

? Now, with this ASCII graphic, I've actually distinguished the second case by
"cutting the corners", forcing some distance between the two lines. This should
be possible as an automatic behavior for tangent connectors. Similarly, two
connectors which accidentally-intersect could have a "hop" gadget used to
indicate that they are not intended to actually connect:

       |
      _|_
     / | \
____/  |  \_____
       |

this is available in some electrical wiring diagram drawers, and perhaps also
in Visio. We should have this in Draw (and thus also Impress).
