Werner,

You are exactly right about the intersections. I (and maybe only I) really
like the look of it. That would be a very interesting plugin! It's not
really something I was going to tackle (yet) because of the post-processing
challenge on the postscript level (at least for me). I'm sure someone could
figure it out more quickly than me.
