Add Offset Cut option to the Bevel Modifier.

It would be wonderful, if the offset cut option, (found in MESHmachine), was actually part of the Bevel Modifier.

The reason I say this, is so that it could maintain a non-destructive workflow. Currently if you use the offset Cut feature, it is a one time destructive operation. It technically could be a separate modifier, but I think having it another checkbox option along with overlap clamping, makes the most sense.

These screenshots were taken from a Josh Gambrell video explaining the use case of the offset cut feature.

This first image shows the results of the "offset cut", before adding a bevel: Offset Cut Capture-01.JPG

The next image shows the successful large bevel that was not possible without the offset cut: Offset Cut Capture-02.JPG

This last image shows what the bevel looks like without using the offset cut or the clamp overlap. (Which would result in a much smaller bevel if used.) Offset Cut Capture-03.JPG

Thanks! Didn't know there was an issue on this feature! What are the chances of seeing this feature in blender and in what release?
