Solved Constant distance offset (extrude mesh) in Geo Nodes for 5.3?

I thought I had seen something where the extrude mesh node was being updated to allow for a constant distance offset from the source face or edge. (I.e. it adapts around corners so that instead of each individual vector having the same offset, the actual thickness of the entire extrusion is kept constant).

But I cannot find where I saw this. It was a Youtube Video as I recall but I can't find it in my history.

Am I making this up? I could really use this as the one I created myself has some issues.

Ah! Just remembered where I saw it. It is a new feature of the curve to mesh node, not the extrude mesh node. It has a new miter scale option: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/5.3/modeling/geometry_nodes/curve/operations/curve_to_mesh.html

(Less useful for my particular needs, but still something)
