Bug Description
The pen tool has a different style of interaction to the pencil and
calligraphy tools; for the pen tool, creating a single curve is composed of
many discrete operations.
This means it should should commit an undo step for each node, rather than
waiting until the very end, so that undo and redo work as expected.
Currently, undoing simply unrecoverably destroys the entire path being
drawn, rather than undoing the previous node addition.
The functionality of backspace is halfway there, but segments deleted that
way can't be un-deleted, so I really think we need to do this right with
undo/redo somehow.

I didn't know about the backspace, but still I've nuked a complex path on many ocasions because I'm so used to the undo shortcut. This is a destructive action as you cannot redo to get your path back. Please bump the priority on this one. It is a destructive behavior, a bug not an enhancement wish.
