A Dashed Line tool.
I have seen a few plugins (Nudge, WidthScribe) do things with dashes that suggest there is room for a lot more dashes on a stroke than the three repeating dash/gap entries the Stroke panel lets me create.
I would like an interactive, on-canvas tool that lets me drag dashes, gaps, and their endpoints around on a selected path. Being able to create and delete dashes/gaps would be nice, too.

Nudge tool by RJGraffix most probably uses the strokeDashOffset parameter (or a similar variable SDK provides).
It turns out Illustrator does not respect it when a stroke is outlined (and it does not get saved into a doc even!)— please vote here to fix it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47442734
