I was not joking and I can see it is both more complex, and less
flexible than the callback suggested.
What made me suggest this is that:
1) It will be all 'enclosed' in the new tool- and require new code
that I can at least imagine how could be done.
2) In this way creating a new paint 'effect' will be a lot easier
than writting a plugin.

Anyway, I think this discussion can rest for a while now. Since you
are so willing to help some more people to be able to hack on the
core, let's move to a more simple issue - bug #158666.
I will write about it on another e-mail.
