I'm a little confused. To which object are you referring?

Using a smaller design size might work with a squiggle-arpeggio,
but for composers who use the slur-arpeggio (I think Grieg was
one?), typesetting a thinner curve might be too subtle a
difference. Anyway, maybe it's a moot point. The question (as I 
understood it) was whether anybody would want a dashed slur-
arpeggio and/or whether it should be implemented. Well, I want
it! (:

If implementing it is a trivial matter, then I say implement it.
