Armature bone feature:

New Bone option: "Relative Parenting". 

This makes Child-Objects of Bones transform similar to how deformations 
of bones are calculated. Allows to move bones in editmode to set pivot.

The option is in Bone Panel, with clear label. 
It is ON now by default when you add new bones

Requested by Kjartan, our famous robot designer :) For "hard body rigs" it's
very useful.
