Krita 2.0 and the freehand drawing tool

You were the one who proposed that the first time, right? :) Sorry,
I'm bad at remembering names, but I do remember the proposal.

I admit that at first I was sceptical of the concept, but I've since
been warming up to it a lot. Also, Inkscape 0.46 has on-canvas live
path effects (even though I'm still getting used to it), and being
able to edit the skeleton path is certainly nice.

Glad to see I'm not the only one clamouring for this feature! I've
been searching for an easy way to do smooth size fades and double-
edges for years! D: The only thing that comes close is using a tablet,
but with the amount of jitters I end up with I may as well not have
bothered. :\

Also, although having an extra freehand tool may be confusing to some 
users, including this tool soon would allow for developers to quickly
start working on effects for the next version (map to stroke length
etc). I admit I don't really want to wait 3 more years just to do
easy smooth size fades...
