Comment 5 for bug 170813

I would also like to be able to arrange and distribute guides like any other object. It would be very easy to create certain types of grids or other setups for that matter.

Honestly I don't see why guides has to be treated in any special way than other objects. Its just an infinite line that will not be rendered in the final drawing.

I second this idea:
"IDEA: Should guides be shapes on just another layer? The layer could be locked / unlocked the way other layers are currently being done. - Lawrence"
