Comment (by alilucio):

 I think it would make sense to have the radius in some sort of units. So
 say I wanted a circle with a radius of 10km, I would do "curve.r = 10;"
 thinking that km is the default unit for the radius. And if this was based
 on the projection, it might be drawn as an ellipse is all I'm saying, I
 don't wan't an ellipse, but a circle on certain projections is an ellipse.
 I was hoping this would make it into the 2.4 release. Right now it really
 doesn't make sense to me to have the vector geometries be based on the div
 and not the geography because the drawing is on a map. So straight lines
 should be cruved and so forth.
