I fully agree on the required user-interactions. In fact a usability 
design made by Ellen also pointed this out.

The interactions you stated all have to be hand-coded, though. 
Irregardless of using a shape based solution or using a separate 
inheritance tree like the connections use now.

I'm sure that after the guys that want to work on this looked at the code 
a bit deeper they will come to the same conclusion themselves.
I just hoped they would take my word for it ;)

I think avoiding the mixing of concepts that are in principle very 
different will actually make sure the end effect is more understandable 
code.  Which is a better idea IMO then finding all the exceptions you 
have to put in 'normal' shapes code for connectors.
