Lasso Tool - Clicking outside of an existing selection should be able to do a Select None, depending on mode/modifiers; just like the Rectangle and Ellipse Select

Description
GIMP 2.6.11 Lasso Tool Issue; When using Lasso tool - after it is used to create a selection the next click function should be set to - DESELECT this will allow the lasso tool to work the same as how the rectangle selection tool works
After a selection, if a modifier key is being held (shift, ctrl, or whatever is mapped by os/etc) the tool should not de-select anything
However, if no modifier is being pressed, and a selection is already made, the next time the mouse is clicked - the current selection should be de-selected INSTEAD of immediately going into the lasso functionality.
All major commercial software lassos seem to work with the function described above I realize this is not a "bug" per-se, however the intended and desirable functionality of the lasso tool is truely dependant upon the above suggestion. I simply suggest it for consideration. I feel like it should be a relatively simple fix, although I've never compiled GIMP, nor have ever worked on its development. If need be, I could however make this modification myself - if there is no available programmer for the job.
Version: 2.6.11
