This is indeed an elegant solution to the unstated problem of the drawing
colour having poor contrast against the existing contents of the canvas.

But does SVG have a drawing method that can combine the new object with
previously-rendered canvas values? Or does one need to re-compute or
alternatively "read back" the current canvas state within the area of
interest?
