Adjustment Brush Tool & Spot Removal Tool - shape should be changeable.

The brush tool and spot removal tools are surely the most used tools in Lightroom for fine tune editing. Currently, we are stuck with rounded tools for editing. Can developers add a feature that allows us to right click and change the shape of the brush or spot removal tool, similar to Photoshop's Marquee selection tool?

Square Brush Tool & a Square Spot Removal Tool: Would be great for selecting right angles, acute angles or straight edges.
Line Brush Tool & a Line Spot Removal Tool: Would be great for drawing point A to point B lines, allowing us to highlight perfectly straight lines.


Photos often have many straight lines in them and these options would allow for much cleaner editing.

If you agree with me, please like this post so it catches developer attention.

These are my renderings for what they can look like...

    You can also use the same process with the spot removal tool
