 Given a way W: A-B-C-D-E-F-G...
 Let's say I want to create a way V that shares B-C-D-E-F
 This would be a handy sequence of steps:
 1. Start way V
 2. Click B
 3. Click C
 4. Press "follow way" short cut key (f, for want of better). V is extended
 to D
 5. Press f twice more. V is extended to E, then F.
 6. Click wherever...

 This would make colinear ways (especially adjoining properties, like a
 golf course that meets a park) a really pleasant experience.

 (I think it's necessary to click the first two points in order to indicate
 the direction to follow.)
