I perfectly understand the interest of arcs in traces.

But what the interest of Bezier curves in traces or shapes on copper layers ?

I am not a microwave specialist, however I never saw cases where Bezier curves 
are needed.

The more complex case I know is a filter, which works fine with polygons (seen 
demos/microwave).

AFAIK, complex shapes are generated by specialized tools (you cannot easily 
draw them by hand).
Are they generating shapes with Bezier curves.

Moreover, remember Gerber format does not support Bezier curves, so they will 
be converted to
polygons if they are supported by Pcbnew.
