[Bf-funboard] Updated Feature Proposal - Automatic Snapping

[Bart]

I think an important thing is that users like to have automatic 
snapping. Just a toogle you turning on and when doing transformation 
(move, scale, rotate) things started to snap (whatever the user 
selected: center, border, grid etc.).

A visual highlighting on the target what/where it trying to snap during 
transformation would be cool too.
