I wonder if within current snapping framework the so called Smart Guides are possible. That is -- snapping without touching.

This is new to me, but it looks like it simply aligns vertically/horizontally to the boundingbox of objects at any distance, am I correct? Such a thing is not supported by the current snapping framework, but it shouldn't be too difficult to implement. If implemented, it will need a key binding though to easily turn this on/off because otherwise it will get annoying.
