It would be nice for layouting e.g. ConnectionDecorators to get the intersection point between Anchor and Connection.

As far as I can tell this functionality is already used in PeServiceImpl.getConnectionMidpoint but not public.

Additionally it would help in terms of behavior:
 if(c.getStart() is ChopBoxAnchor)
   if(c.firstBendpoint is within/bordering c.StartShape())
     c.connectionStart = c.firstBendpoint()
     c.removeFirstBendpoint()
   else
     c.connectionStart = c.StartShape.center()
same for end.

currently if one sets a bendpoint directly on the border of a shape the "rotation" data is lost and the ConnectionDecorator gets a constant angle (0?)
