While I've not had any boards routed this way, I've used it for
silkscreen in footprints. It works, but somehow I end up with a bunch
of line segments where arcs would be appropriate, and they tend to be
barely acceptable in terms of number of line segments approximating
the curve.

It'd be nice if there were an ElementBezier. I'm also certain I'm not
the first person to raise the idea. Since it seems at first blush to
be a somewhat modular idea - there must be framework/consensus
reasons.
