BTW, I actually happened to be busy implementing a feature specifically 
designed for this particular effect (with an elaborate syntax providing 
for multiple "ghost groups" that would again be transparent with respect 
to each other) and struggling with some implementation details, when it 
hit me that if I instead just implemented a straightforward multiple 
exposure simulation I could achieve exactly the same effect (albeit with 
a less luxurious syntax) with much less implementation effort, /and/ get 
a catch-all fallback solution for motion blur for free.
