Better Automation Envelope drawing capabilities

I would really prefer if it was easier to draw automation in lives arrangement. Not that it's supehard or anything. I just feel it would be nice if you could have a feature that would make the lines snap to a grid. That way you don't have to always zoom in so close and move the mouse so slowly.

WORKAROUND TIME!
Here's a quick way to make live envelopes snap to grid:
Switch to draw tool, set the quantize to 16ths or something.
If you want the envelope to peak at bar number 2, for instance, use the draw tool to draw in a single "block" at the end of the first bar.
Switch back to regular cursor and remove the first point made by the draw tool.
There.
