What about improving the Image/Krita shape ? We can already do 
non-destructive transformations with it. And it gives us many things for 
free, like snapping/align/geometry features :). The only problem I see 
is that it can only use external files. If we could embed an image, or 
convert a layer to an image shape, it would be perfect.
