It does not.

You need to be very careful here since, the shape element
passed in can change between calls, and in the case of 'fillRect'
'drawRect' the two shape elements will be different. This means
that the code needs to iterate over the shape element to see if
it matches the previous shape element (which it needed to copy from
the last call). Also care needs to be taken that 'other methods'
like transform calls haven't intervened to make it impossible to
collapse the two elements.
I've actually thought that walking the output tree might
be easier since it's fairly simple to see if the two adjacent
elements match except for fill/stroke. This could of course
make the 'current element' a bit of a tricky concept.
