Note attached hairpins period would be a great thing. I still can't
figure out why this hasn't already been implemented (FinMac2006d).

Yes, great idea! And probably very easy to implement, as you said.

I experimented with creating a Shape expression with P on one end and
F on the other and two hand-drawn lines between. It worked, more or
less, and I could manually stretch it to fit, but I want better
control over the distances between items than this method gives me.
The point of the V tends to change as it is dragged, either
separating or crossing, and the lines increase distance from the P
and F as it grows. A Smart Shape most likely would not have this
problem. Plus it is a mighty pain to create in the Shape Designer, a
primitive tool if I ever saw one.
