I hadn't quite looked at it as another composite op, though -- I already added
one extra, the NORMAL op.

I'd have to write the code in any case, whether I'd call it maskBlt or an 
overloaded bitBlt, wouldn't I? There's a bit of difference between retrieving 
grayscale pixels and using a colour to composite them with a layer, and 
between being able to directly copy colour bytes.

One thing worrying me is that I'd ideally be able to composite the brush 
stroke using any of the existing ops onto the layer. That's easy to do with 
temporary layers, easier than by creating a new composite op and using that.

Well, I'll just experiment a bit... Tomorrow, probably.
