  Optimally this would not be a core feature but more or less easily
implementable as a shader, assuming the new shader language has enough
expressive power. A pre-made such shader could be provided in a standard
library for convenience.

  (The big advantage of it being a shader is that it makes it easy for
the user to change it if he needs a slightly different effect.)
