[net.misc] Ideal switches in SPICE

Alright, here is another SPICE querry.

In certain applications, it is good to implement a device in SPICE using
an ideal switch. However, SPICE does not have a relay or actual switch to use
in the circuit description. That is, our SPICE , at least.

In particular, I am trying to simulate capacitor switching, and before I
bog down our system with a myriad of MOSFETs, and thereby increase run times
and complexity of output, I was hoping to be able to introduce aforementioned
ideal switches. Implementing MOSFETs has the disadvantage of introducing charge
feedthrough errors, which I would like to avoid at this stage in order to pin
down the magnitude of other errors.

Any hot tips will be much appreciated.
