yes. a) not another special case
b) you can easily implement any function between pressure and
change-in-texture without changing the core
c) not another special case.
I don't know what Sven and Mitch are currently planning to do, but
from my limited insight into paint core I would propose a general
mechanism to provide color/texture/brush/pattern depending on the
current input parameters (so having a single pipe interface that can
be subclassed to provide all relevant dataobjects for painting in a
dynamic way). just a thought...
