: make an additional (thin) pad in the footprint connecting the pads.

	Empty strings for pin names do not make any change.

	Why not connecting them? I would like to use the in-microswitch
connection between pins 1 and 2 and between pins 3 and 4 as an "additional
PCB layer". I.e. I need the space between those pins for other traces.
