How about new brushes that take a parameter. Wether they are invoked with a different keyword, or just by the new name I dont' know which is easier. Brushes like the default round ones should become aliases that are specified in a global brush-alias file. So the systemwide, default brush-alias file specifies among others: 17circle circle(17) so "circle" is the NEW name of the parametrized brush that has one parameter (in this case "17").
