Freehand paths

The enhancements made to the Free Select tool in version 2.6 are quite phenomenal. The implementation is powerful yet intuitive and I congratulate those involved in its development (from the Changelog I am led to believe that Martin Nordholts handled the brunt of the coding effort).

I was wondering if it would be feasible to use that same tool interface in order to implement similar hybrid polygonal/freehand segments as a new Paths type. Having the capability to free draw and then stroke both closed or open paths would be quite handy, as well as being able to manipulate such paths by duplication, scaling, transformation, translation, and direct editing.

here is 'the making of', how Martin and I did it:

if I have to summarise my goals for the path tool, it is make it as uncomplicated and powerful as the new free/poly tool.

Kamila and I, Pippin, Simon, and others are exploring this from our individual viewpoints.
