Log-Aesthetic Curves as an alternative to B-Splines

I would like to propose to add an option to use log-aesthetic curves instead of B-splines for the interpolation of curves. These curves are smoother and look nicer when there are many control points.

Are you referring to use of these curves in modeling or when animating in the Graph Editor?

* @Jason van Gumster * I don't think it makes sense to use these for animation-- the animation curves aren't actually B-Splines. Because they must have only ONE value per frame, the math's a little different (they're called F-curves). B-Splines can curve back on themselves, creating more than one value per frame.

* @Josephbburg * I'm aware of that. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything in the proposal.
