Entry Hint Shared Edge

Gallery / Inter-section Routing

An `entry:` hint pins one line of a two-line inter-section edge to a non-natural side; the other line, riding the identical connector, is forced onto that same side instead of independently computing its own natural side and conflicting with the hint (issue #1629).
