Actually, an object that displayed a point that was n pixels large
regardless of scaling would be very useful to me.  I've got a type
of image I create in the canvas where at the largest scale are boxes
10 or 15 pixels high and at the smallest scale are very small, where
I'd really like a constant 2 or 3 pixels per point all the time.  I
make the box be at least two pixels by using the outline, but that
provides a minimum but not maximum size for the box.  If a non-scaled
item of this sort were available, I would use it.
