I just committed a change to SVN (rev. #17022) which allows the user to convert rectangles and 3D boxes to a collection of guidelines that are aligned along these objects' edges.
That's indeed a very cool feature! I could have used that today at work :-)
I have not checked it out yet though, but I wonder: are the guides aligned with the nodes or with the bounding box? Or is there a way to specify this? I ask this because there are essentially two ways of working: either aligning objects at their visual boundingbox, or at their geometrical bbox (or nodes or stroke center). This distinction is being used in the preferences for the selector tool, and also when snapping. So we need it here also IMO.
