Otherwise I had to handle the case of collinear segments or segments where direction changes only slightly. Would be difficult to decide what to do with those. But I'm open for any ideas.

I was bothered by the same thing and I think it could be helped by
treating direction changes of < 45 deg as 0 deg, i.e. align the
consecutive points in line or as if there was no node there at all.
