Update: Thought about this thread while building solar panels (with
convoluted dados and straight mortises) this afternoon - as I pared
dado corners with a 30+YO $3 Stanley chisel because that was the
easiest and quickest way to get the job done well. :-)

I probably should have mentioned before that a straight chisel is a
lot easier to sharpen than (probably) any corner chisel...
