I have some well-defined shapes drawn in a Custom View using
pswrap functions.  For now, the shapes consist of filled
rectangles and filled arcs.  The shapes do not overlap.

I'd like to find out which shape receives a mouse up or down
event.  Actually, for the time being, only one shape in the
view is a possible target, and therefore I only need to check
whether this one special shape was hit.

I assume that rectangles are easy, and are given to you for
free.  But what about a convex shape like a filled arc?  Is
there a way to check whether a mouse event occurs inside of
an arbitrary bounding path (bounding _box_ works for rectangles,
but not circles or arcs or Bart Simpson's.)

Come to think of it, I guess I should look at the Draw code.
But any hints are welcome!
