- Make guidelines rotateable (e.g., when a modifier key is pressed).
Don't know around which point it should rotate, but maybe one of the intersections with the border of the visible area, or the midpoint between these intersections, would be convenient.
- When double-clicking (or Shift-clicking or shift-double-clicking or
whatever) a guideline, show its anchor point (much like clicking twice in the selector tool shows the rotation center), which can then be dragged to any position. Also, dragging a guideline with the anchor being visible should result in a rotation about this point rather than a parallel movement.

3) Divide the guidelines in three parts; when grabbing the middle part the guideline can be translated, whereas it can be rotated by grabbing the upper or lower part. The pivot point is in the middle. Or when available, use a point to which the guide has snapped for pivoting and allow the rotating line to snap to an additional node, so we can have the angle determined by two nodes. Then the user will never have to calculate or estimate an angle!
BTW, when dragging a guideline it snaps to object nodes. This does not yet work for angled guidelines however, only for the old vertical/horizontal guidelines. Snapping objects _to_ an angled guideline should work though, but I haven't tested Johan's latest commit yet.
Excellent work indeed Johan!
