Different levels om simplification of Simplify path

What I know there is only one level of simplification of a line when running "Simplify path"? I'd like to be able to chose from a list of levels of simplifications.

Actually, it could look at the zoom level to decide how smooth simplification should be. If I zoom out a lot, I am only interested to smoothen to the most general form - e.g. the detailed contour line in a U-shaped form. It is as if I replace the symbol with a thick "major road" (thickness would depend on the zoom level or user choice), and then follow the shape (or the average center line of it) with a freehand tool.

Another approach could be choosing the sensitivity level - the distance from the spline drawn is less than X pixels, then do not create new points.
