How can I force the pattern of a dashed line to be shifted/modified in such way that it does not start/end with a space?

Simple example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw coordinate (nw) (0,0) rectangle (4,4) coordinate(se);
\path (nw)--coordinate (aux) (se); 
\draw[dashed] (nw|-aux)--(aux-|se);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

In the resulting output the line ends with a space.

If se is at (3,3) the line both starts and ends with no space:

@Ignasi I already saw that question, how would it work with the additional constraint to have a solid end? – m.s. Jun 30 '15 at 14:29

@MarkWibrow thanks, I tried it, it works. I will close this question as a duplicate. – m.s. Jun 30 '15 at 17:39
