Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

It should be possible to have the specialization/generalization arrows (and, in general, any other lines) be automatically merged together when pointing to the same object from the same direction.

Allowing such automerging should be settable per arrow/line. When 2 arrows/lines have the "allow merging" option set, and point to the same object (in the case of arrows, only their tip, not their tail!), they should be automatically connected together in some distance from the object, and the final segment should be comon for both of them (that is, one arrow tip should point at the object in the case of arrows, one short line segment should connect to the object in the case of simple lines).

Cardinalities (for associations), if present, should be placed "intelligently" near the point where the lines join.

This would be very difficult to do with our association code.
