I'm not a developer so I can't say about the work, nor about if it would be otherwise reasonable or wanted. I just want to say that at the moment even the arc tracks don't work fluently. What is lacking is smooth continuity from segment to segment. The tangent of the start/end of a segment should always follow the straight segment or tangent attached to it. IMO you would need this for bezier curves, too, so I suggest you look at that first. In the end it's possible that beziers don't offer anything better than circular arcs for practical needs, as long as they can be easily created and modified to wanted smooth shapes. Bezier in itself shouldn't be electrically better than approximation with arcs.
