I vote for that too.  It's up there with manipulating polygon points
interactively:  yes, it can be done in script, but not gracefully.  With
Beziers the difference between a scripted implmentation and an engine-based
one becomes even more pronounced once you print it.

It would make a nifty plugin tool, however, and I would encourage you to
pursue it as such.
