My favorite would be the ability to have a bitmap as a graphics object.
Eg. so you can put arrows and text over a bitmap image. Maybe this is
in 3.0? I dont know. You get into nasty problems though with what bitmap
format do you support? GIF TIFF XWD XBM XPM PPM.....
Of course this gets into nasty things like scaling, rotating, stretching?
bitmaps in a portable way. Good fun.
