Feature Request - Repellant Shapes

Hi everyone,

I was thinking about this recently because of the posts on connecting
multiple lines to a shape.  A feature I would love to see would be shapes
that could repel lines so that the lines wouldn't cross the shapes.  I find
it happening often on diagrams that look like org charts:

           [X]
            |
     --------------------
     |    |    |   |    |
    [X]  [X]  [X] [X]  [X]


Using the square type lines, after a few of the bottom boxes work out fine,
the latter ones will start crossing the earlier boxes so I need to manually
add a lot of points.  Then if one of those boxes needs to be moved, it's a
lot of work.  

If you could tell OG something like "Don't put a line on top of this box!",
it would be wonderful.

Sincerely,

Paul Burney
