I stand corrected.  I just looked and pin numbers are checked by
position so swapped pins should get rescued.  What isn't rescued is pins
that changed length which is a bit surprising since that would possibly
leave unconnected wires.  I'm not sure why it was done this way but I
guess I'll have to do some testing before the stable 5 release to see if
it needs to be fixed.
