Proposal: smarter grid snap

[Daniele Pighin <daniele dcs it>]

Hallo,
I was wondering wether it was possible to allow a monodirectional snap to the 
grid, that is, say, allow objects to snap horizontally but not vertically 
rather than the opposite. This would be a useful feature when you need to 
align objects in one direction but need flexibility in the other.
Also, as it is very common (at least, it is to me) to switch on/off grid snap, 
I was thinking about having a checkbox in the status bar of the diagram to 
enable/disable this feature. If monodirectional snap was implemented, a 
checkbox may be drawn next to the rulers to enable/disable snap relative to 
that direction.

I hope I haven't bothered you with this proposal.
