Proposal

Please Add the Chevron shape, pointing to the right, to either Flowchart or Block Diagrams. It is much more widely used than many of the special new shapes you have now available, I'm surprised it's not there yet.

Image

Other names by which it goes:
• Chevron (most universal)
• Arrow block
• Block arrow
• Process arrow
• Step arrow
• Directional arrow
• Rightward step
• Slanted block
• Segment arrow
• Phase arrow

Use Cases

This could be used for chevron diagrams, where processes are explained in steps.
