Yes --- this would be great, filled and unfilled. > I view triangles as less urgent, in part because they can't be drawn > intuitively in a single gesture (unlike rectangles where you can just > drag from one corner to the opposite corner, and circles where either > corners or center + radius are reasonably intuitive).

Probably triangles are better put into the category of generic closing polygon. Personally I find that the better way to deal with shapes is having them introduced at a fixed size, and automatically activating the paste behavior --- that is, fixed aspect deformation (corners), h/v deformation (laterals) and maybe rotation (handles outside the selection). I *think* it was the way notability used to work --- I do not have an iPad anymore --- and Notability is by large the best app for free hand drawing I ever tried, at least under the interface point of view.
