atm the best thing I can come up with is an object that can recreate the draw methods, assuming that you want a stroke on it. If I am just going to stick with drawRect, drawRoundRect, and drawRoundRectComplex I can do that. Looking into 'drawing' an inner stroke when using lineTo curveTo etc and other draw commands will take a bit more work and time.
I kind of feel like it might end up being InnerStroke extends Shape, and creating public methods that are 'override's of the graphics drawing api. Just thoughts out loud.
