By availability of tools, maybe. But in practice, I wouldn't consider
most of them as "able". Sorry, got too many weird user helpdesk calls. ;-)

But it's good to have the feature available, of course!

Maybe today's diashapes should become a button inside dia's internal
tool selection dialog?

I just put it into the next revision of dia in Debian, upload it and a
few hours later everyone running Debian sid will have it available. ;-)
