Ye, that was me with spamming the list with a massive feature suggestion 
mail. :)

It all depends on how it is implemented. I was imagine if it using some 
sort of caching (into bitmaps) and doesn't reveal its procedural nature 
at all until you actually want to edit a stroke.

This also require that other layers this interacts with can be 
re-rendered on demand. E.g. if you want such strokes to act on a natural 
media (say water color) layer, then edit one stroke, the natural media 
layer has to re-render itself.
