Mirror symmetry mirror line does not snap to own object

Summary:

The mirror line you can drag does not snap to its own object. It does however snap to other objects (or guides etc).

This would be useful for aligning the mirror line to the side of an object exactly.

A workaround is to just make a guide, align the guide with the object edge, then align the mirror line with that guide. Annoying though.
