[Jon Evans <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note for the list:  Brian's design (shared privately with me) exposed
several bugs, and I have fixed the most serious one (and added a new
testcase for it).

https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/a900fb319d34769eabb5a9e52a919f730f70dae6

I haven't yet fixed the other bugs or filed them on GitLab but will try to
do that soon if nobody beats me to it:

1) Schematic cleanup is missing some things.  In particular, Brian's design
has unnecessary junctions and overlapping wire segments that should have
been deleted.

2) dragging a bus wire away from a junction will cause a regular (non-bus)
wire to be added in -- this is new and probably related to the recent
dragging changes.
