haha. Before we can work on a "nicer" API for GraphicsContext we _have to_ discuss how we can implement it efficiently on platforms, not after we implemented it.
But I'm really fine with the new headline of this bug. We really don't want current path on Cairo. And I guess Martin and Alex agree to me. I'd like to have at least one comment of the Skia guys.

The work on WebKit does not really rely on this patch. So we should take the time now, instead of redesigning a few times.
