Yes, along with "to back" and "to front" commands. These are missing
features, just like path drawing commands.
To me, this is one of those capabilities that's totally utterly useless
99.9% of the time, but can't-finish-drawing-without-it the other 0.1%.
If an alternative and obviously-superior algorithm for choosing drawing
order was suggested, it wouldn't be a big deal to me.
