  From my quick glance at Canvas 3.0 [while running round Moscone,
trying to see everything :-|], it seemed like it could do dashed

  I seem to recall the demonstrator saying something like "People
asked us to put dashes and arrows on everything, so we did".. and
proceeding to demonstrate the various dashes and arrows options.
