I have a surface mount right anle switch that has two unconnected pads used
to physically hold the part. (In addition to the spst connections). I do
not wish to add pins to my symbol, but i don't want to be warned about
shorting them to ground (grounding the housing seems like good practice)

How should i handle pads which can optionally be connected to ground?
