Comment:

 This is quite old and I'd like to know if aaime still really wants it. If
 not I'd rather close it and wait for someone else to have the need that
 implement a fugly bit of logic just for giggles:

 * for each arc, if the radius is < tolerance * X then linearize it at
 tolerance/Y
 * run DP on the result, skipping the remaining arc parts and retaining
 them unchanged

 The above would I think achieve something like a "somewhat smaller thing
 that respects the shape of the original" which I guess is the st_simplify
 contract
