[Maciej Sumiński <maciej.suminski@xxxxxxx>]

I am trying to find a better description for pin edition coupling in the
symbol library editor (the rightmost button on the top toolbar). My
proposal is in the attached patch, but perhaps one of our native English
speakers can come up with a clearer description.

Cheers,
Orson
