Protection of SWD lines :: STM32L011

Hello,

Is it recommended to implement an ESD protection on SWD lines of STM32L011D3/D4 mCU? I went through "Getting started with STM32L0xx hardware development" document and there is a Figure 15 which suggests to connect SWD lines direct to programming connector without any protections. I'm just thinking that some protection would be good, like 47R - 100R resistors on the lines with 3.3 V (or 5 V ?) Vrwm of ESD diodes while programmer would not be connected to the board?

Many thanks.

If you want more ESD protection that the chip already provides, you can add additional ESD diodes:
