align points to curve

Hello Michael et al,

I do a fair amount of organic shape modeling, where I end up manipulating the points of a surface by hand. It would be super handy to have an "align points to curve" command.

Does this exist? It seems basic, but I'm not finding anything relevant in my searches.

The image below is a great example of this. All the points along the bottom edge of the surface need to be moved to the curve. Presently, I'm just doing it manually.
