Unique cursor shapes for Tweak, Box Select, and Lasso Select tools

It would be VERY desirable if the CURSOR SHAPE always gave the user information about the state of the application. For me this is particular aggravating in differentiating between TWEAK, BOX SELECT, and LASSO SELECT, because not only do they share the same cursor shape, they share the same hotkey, so I can never be quite sure which one is active w/o looking.

The cursor could/should be a valuable cue to the user, if it always conveyed some unique information. It is where the user's eyes are most often going to be focused. This should not be wasted.

Agreed. In fact, I made the same suggestion a few months ago here !

This is already being discussed among the Developers but hasn't ultimately been decided on, AFAIK.

They don't doubt this would be a good idea? because .... it's pretty nice when you have it, and you miss it a lot when you are used to it.
