Bug Description

Provide a new mode for the freehand tool, in which either a new path is created from averaging multiple freehand strokes (allowing for more correct but still natural lines) or an existing path is shaped according to freehand strokes acting as indications.

See this video [http://www.solidsmack.com/future-interfaces-3d-multi-stroke-sketching-system/2008-10-08/] , an experimental 3d sketching tool that implements multi-stroke averaging.
The complex 3d technology and gesture recognition, while amazing, is not relevant to inkscape, but the multi-stroke paths (perhaps even simplified) might fit nicely with the freehand tool.
