I agree, that we should invent something from time to time, but 3px line is
not a good solution as it can't (or is very difficult to) be drawn
precisely.

Usecase: You want do draw a 3-line border (footer) to your photo (painting,
logo...). E.g. the border should consist of 3 lines (white, blue, red, e.g.)
The width of every line is 1px. The space between them is 1px. Of course for
logo it's better to use Karbon, but we'll assume raster. It'll be easier to
position with a mouse 1px line than 3px line.
