On a side note, the math part of the code (the part
that actually does the bevelling by moving the new
edges and all) is quite sane and smart. It wasn't
coded in a sleepless night after all ;-)
It wouldn't require much change to make it work per
edges as long as they are flagged properly. (hint to
pour soul who want to rewrite the flagging and
splitting code).
