Bug Description
When an line or object is drawn as zero line width then 'object to pattern' command is used the line width changes.
This is particularly important for future Inkscape development where cutting plotters are used. Cutting plotters frequently need to cut 'dashed' lines such as 2mm line - space - 2mm line - space etc.
Like the pattern below
- - - - - - - -
However each 'dash' actually converts to a rectangular object when the 'object to pattern' command is used.

Inksape 0.47 includes a new extension: «The new Modify Path > Convert to Dashes extension takes the dash pattern of the stroke and explicitly cuts the curve to duplicate this pattern. This is to allow desktop cutting plotters to cut dashed curves.»
