The idea is really nice, thanks for reporting the wish (so we won't forget!).

What leave me in doubt is the choice of the snapping angles, and the modifier 
used. Some graphics applications I just opened:

- kolourpaint: 45° with Shift, 30° with Ctrl
- krita: 90° with Shift
- inkscape: default 15° [configurable to 1, 2, 3, 6, 7.5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 
90] with Ctrl
- scribus: 15° with Ctrl

almost all seem to use Ctrl as modifier, but they have different ranges for 
the snapped angles.
Any ideas about this?
