I need to, period. I use a model I haven't defined, so I'm not right to
modify the graphic language. This modeling uses wavy line, I have to draw
wavy lines.

mmmm.... this basically requires me to fork the current line object :-(
Probably better to add a property to the line object (Alex's explanations
and more code digging made obviously clear why doing that at the renderer
level is not a good idea ; besides, I don't really want to code the
drawing of a filled rectangle with wavy borders)

Who really cares ? I want nice EPS graphics ; if people find that feature
too slow for their machines, they simply don't need to use it.
