Good question. I have them turned on, and I as just wrote that comment,
I was sure I accually use them. But thinking about them now, I can't
think of their point. They do help finding the start/end point of a
circular way, but I can't think of anything else...

Good point. I think we need to find a better way to handle overlapping
elements. The middle-click/ctrl/left-click combination is a useablity
nightmare and doesn't allow things like moving the selected element.

Oh. Ok.
