How may I put bevelled edges on a square/rectangle/polygon?

Applying fillets, bevels and chamfers to corners is not yet implemented in Inkscape. Currently they must be done manually. One technique that works in some cases is to inset the shape then outset it, but this will only work on angles on < 180 degrees.

There has been some work on adding CAD features:

but I do not know the status of these efforts.
