My hunch is that in actual usage, it will be more like 97%-98% solvable as simple angles only, with the vast majority being horizontal or vertical, less than 10% diagonal (but still fixed direction), and only 2-3% needing the stretchable diagonal behavior. Of course, I AM just pulling these numbers out of the air, but I'm also thinking of designs in print and Web that I've worked on myself and seen from others.

I wonder how important that will be.
