Alternate kernel for Sharpen compositor node
Currently, Blender has a Sharpen filter in the Filter compositor node. However, the default kernel for the sharpen filter is a very extreme one that, frankly, doesn't look very good for most of the things that I've tried using it for.
-1, -1, -1
-1, 9, -1
-1, -1, -1
I propose that there be an alternate kernel for the Sharpen filter:
0 -1 0
-1 5 -1
0 -1 0
The original sharpen filter could be called "Box", while the new one could be called "Diamond" (based on the shape of the kernel). Below is a side-by-side of the two different kernels vs. the original image. Note the harsh aliasing in the current kernel.

I will add a first good ticket for this in the tracker! It is a small ticket that new contributors can work on. Thanks for posting it!
