> Are these shapes of the kind you are looking for? 

Yes, they're very nice :-)  

Two nitpicks:

* The difficulty in making the jointed two-line-segment behave degenerate into
a single line; i.e. having to place the middle point perfectly on the line
between the two endpoints.
* The difficulty in forcing either line segment into a multiple-of-45 degree
angle, e.g. when pressing shift while dragging a control point (i.e. as with
regular line segments).

> As such shapes do not exist in Microsoft Office shape preset and
> LibreOffice's export of handles is incomplete, you will lose the handle on
> export to Microsoft Office shape formats.

Yes, of course, that is to be expected. We can't eat our cake (shape) and have
it...

Well, I would also like to be able to do this: (bug 158248)
