Polygonal selection

I think having a polygonal lasso selection would speed up the selection. I am thinking to a specific mode (could be enabled by ALT key) in which the lasso tool becomes a polygonal tool where subsequent clicks of the mouse create a straight line instead of a continuous curve drawn by hand (this is especially important to select windows or other linear geometries not aligned to axis).

  In this situation I could select faces in a cleaner and faster way (instead of using lasso and subtract with rect). If the object is quite long and straight you could take 2 points instead of a long and jaggy line (instead of using many little selections to isolate central area and then cut it away with expand option).
