hi,
from a long-term perspective, i expect resources to be shared easily
'on the cloud', with each resource item identified by a GUID.
Then, the read-only system files are just a local cache of some of the

Scaling a vector brush from the tool options is equivalent, at least

Indeed, they are good examples. For me, the thing is : why these examples ?
To give examples doesn't mean not to justify them.
