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.)
