[OpenLayers-Dev] snapping

[Ivan Grcic]

Excellent work guys! It really works very nice!

But it always can get better :) my first questions were:
1) hmmm can it snap to coordinate grid? (for en example 1mx1m if its in meters)
2) hmmm can it snap to features intersections?

But I guess you also have these and many others improvments in ur head
for future versions ;)
Tnx again!
