1--------- random thoughts
2
3
4* works a bit like WonderBrush
5
6* list of vector path objects
7
8* tree of object instances, such that the same vector path
9  object can be visible at different locations with different fill styles
10
11* instances of paths can have additional vector transformers
12
13* "add points" mode is problematic when having multiple manipulators for
14  different paths showing at the same time...

16
17--------- icon format
18
19* 192 "built-in" (pre-defined) style definitions
20* up to 64 additional style definitions per document
21* solid colors and different types of gradients
22* uint8 precision for coordinates on a 64x64 virtual pixel grid
23(* removal (freezing) of transformations at export time
24	not sure about this one, it would remove the possiblity
25	to store vector path only once for referenced objects)
26* referencing of fill style by uint8 id
27* IFF type chunk format
28

30--------- rendering
31
32* compound shape single pass rendering (if possible)
33* auto hinting (aligning to pixels) of marked shapes
