I know it's not quite it, but since commit
984ed6cefda5df921777c8530d4ea8f51a52977c from today, constrained line
angles respect the canvas's rotation angle and flip mode.  In other
words, you can rotate the canvas to the desired angle, and press Ctrl
while dragging an endpoint to create a horizontal line (which, in
actuality, has the same angle as the canvas.)
