Thanks. Perhaps enable some type of configurable hook that allows for
experimentation? I'm just speculating at this point, as things stand,

be the easiest way to do it -- and if those properties dont have any
effect on rendering, they should be "invisible" both with respect to
display and performance to the user I hope Lars Ingebrigtsen writes:
