I'm not sure which world plane they would project on to?

A user cplane is not restricted to be similar to the original world plane - they can easily be flipped around in some totally different direction. For example it would be possible for a relocated "Top" view to be looking down right at the edge of the normal "World Top" plane.

So it's not really clear to me how that would work...


The other part is that you seem to be talking about curves being projected - would that mean that a circle that was being drawn would instead project to an ellipse as the end result? If so then that is not something that can easily be set up by just changing how points are picked, the circle command for example only currently knows how to construct a circle, not an ellipse. So that would probably require changes to every command, making it a rather difficult amount of work I'm afraid.
