That's fantastic to know.  BTW I think it could fit in both karbon14 and 
krita but in krita it would be used as a kind of brush so that, when you 
had finished using the tool it rendered to pixels and that was that.  In 
karbon14 it makes sense to retain the curve definition and re-generate 
as required - retaining full scalability.

I must get to know these apps a little better!
