Wonderful.

The intra-sheet link elements exist *purely* for ERC reasons, to communicate
the explicit intent of the engineer to have a net linked elsewhere on the
*same* sheet.

Global labels and heirarchical labels remain exactly as they were.  The idea is
only to ensure that the schematic capture engineer be a little more explicit
about what currently could be a deliberately dangling wire (because they meant
to link it elsewhere on the same sheet by way of labels) or a mistake which the
engineer or reviewer failed to catch.

Aah yes, that's what my husband drew for me when I asked him to do a favicon
which represented Git.  I'll change it over to something less rude :-)
