And add to that some people who expect the Ctrl
modifier to snap to grid corners like Shift-S - To
Grid does. Not that it would be a bad idea, mind you,
but it's not the current behavior. I can see how it
could be useful for technically accurate modelling
though so maybe I'll add that to my todo list for new
Transform.
