Unless I am mistaken, Vaclav does not want to join nets. He wants gschem 
to not disconnect pins from nets to which they are already connected to. I 
have to say, I completely agree. The tendency of gschem to pull net lines 
into shapes that disconnect from pins is disconnecting (pun intended :-). 

From a technical point of view, I don't see a fundamental issue. We 
already have the "kissing mode". Given two directly connected pins stay 
connected by a net line which is created on the fly if you pull one of the 
pins away. The behavior Vaclav proposes seems like an extension to this 
concept.
