+1 for having a variant that takes a width. Colour, width, and radius are the 
main parameters I need, so a variant that takes all three would help:

 Border.stroke(Paint p, double width, double radii) 

(Though to be honest for my larger projects most of the time this stuff is set 
in a style sheet.  It’s smaller tools and utilities that I find this 
particularly tedious as the verbosity of the code becomes annoying.)
