Actually, the idea was my officemates, after we were looking at some funny
behaviour on the Lifeline object.

Even a simple line (anything based on Connection, in fact) doesn't shrink
its BB on the down and right sides. Oh, there it was. See if this change
breaks the fine new extra_spacing code, please.

Remember that as long as we can't query objects for orthogonality, the
current arrow behaviour does allow one to get around the default
orientations.
I'm all for rewriting the arrow code, but that's really a thing for 1.1.
