Bug Description
The current Inset/outset tools generate a rounded corner when dealing with sharp angled cusp nodes.- This is noticable when dealing with text glyphs for example.
I'd like a set of ennchanced Inset/Outset (termed Geometeric Outset/inset) that does Inset/Outset but does so with the following enhancements.
* Cusp nodes outset/Inset, remain as cusp nodes, So that corners between straight lines remain the same (albiet scaled).
* Differental inset/outset parralllel to X, Y or to a defined axes. (In an laternate tool this proved rather useufl for generating different text weights for a poster, based on a single glyph from a regular font.

JFTR: current and past stable Inkscape versions already offer different inset/outset types based on the object's stroke join type (miter join -> inset/outset with cusp corners; round join -> inset/outset with rounded corners). Path offsets (dynamic or linked) on the other hand currently are always rounded.
