I'd like to suggest two (or three) new blocks as stair variants; these would not normally be held in inventory, but would be generated automatically under certain conditions when stair blocks were placed. Here I've modeled them, as 2x2 constructions:
These would allow stairs to go around corners (new blocks rendered in netherrack):
Done cleverly, these would also facilitate taking stairways up around corners, allowing for a maximum efficiency 3x3 stairway:
Note that, in the case of a corner stair, a third block might be desirable, which would have a diagonal top half rather than 1/4 or 3/4; I can't model it in MC.
Check out the Eighth block suggestion. It does 16 different blocks, including these and regular stairs. It also only uses 1 Block ID for all of these, and does it for a TON of block types. Netherrack, all logs, stone, glass, etc.

The last image looks a little strange, but the first two are a great idea! I've avoided doing certain things with staircases because there weren't corner blocks.
Very clever saying they would be updated automatically-- like minecart tracks! It could get a little wonky (like minecart tracks, and like your third picture, but I would very much love to see this added!
Just so people know, these are not actual curves, they are just stairs that can be placed in corners and look good, while still being blocky.

As stated.
Eighth blocks, you can wipe away the tears caused by direct exposure to pure awesome later.
You should change the thread title to corner stairs or something to keep people from getting confused.

NO. Don't click New Thread. Read the rules. I don't give a damn how long or boring they are. If you do not, you will be subject to massive flaming and criticism by yours truly.
I really like it, I have to put a regular block in the corner of my spiral staircases because it's just so ugly/ineffective to put a stair in the corner. Having multiple models for different positions shouldn't be too hard, torches and signs do it.

Warning: It is always a possibility this user is talking out of his ass.
I'd venture to speculate that these might include corners for stairs, among other things, possibly including such things as grass half-blocks maybe.
I'm more hoping for actual features in the terrain, not things to make it look smoother (well, I'd like both, but things that stand out would be nice) such as real valleys that go below sea level, or volcanoes or something.
