Dashed Lines

[rachase]

Is there a method, or any easy way to create dashed lines out of paths? Would be nice if you could draw an ellipse (or other primitive) and specify the dash intervals and then add it to a shape object.

That's a feature I've had in mind for a while but haven't implemented yet.

Might also be cool to be able to specify whether its a line, or a random squiggle, different shape, etc. Is it possible to get the points out of a vsk.ellipse (or other) command and then subsample it?

#206 is meant to implement a mechanism where arbitrary styling could be implemented by passing functions that would transform every line (e.g. created by rect or ellipse, etc.) into something else. Dashed lines, squiggly lines, anything could be implemented.
