The idea would be that you get an exact arc when the previous and following point of a given (not-corner-)point has the same distance and is a corner point. For example used in guide rails where you have freeform curves mixed with arces and the arc has a fixed radius. The benefit would be you could draw the guide rail in one step/with one tool instead of using lines arc and freeform tool.
