Also allows designs where "if PIN HIGH -- then do.. XYZ" and the
"resistor" can be removed later for added functionality.

(Popular in radio designs -- a certain pattern of 0 ohm resistors tells
the micro the radio is destined for Europe, North America, etc...
pulling the resistors opens up the radio frequencies that it will XMIT
on, etc...)
