smudge tool should follow curves (aka Vanishing Point?)

Link to original bug (#160614)
Description
Suppose you follow along a curved and striped object. (examples include a rainbow, a blade of grass, a stripe going past the knee of sweat pants, etc. -- the stripes being tangent to the curve) Perhaps you wish to cover up an obstruction. As the smudge tool goes around the curve, it blurs the object both tangent to the curve and radial to the curve. It would be better if this only happened tangent to the curve.
Perhaps you could create and destroy a user-hidden spline for each smudge operation. Then it's a matter of rotating the smudge state (the hidden internal image patch) to follow the curve.
This might need to be optional if performance is a problem.
