Does anybody know if Compose Canvas API will be fixed anytime soon. Things like this: <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/drawscope/CanvasDrawScope#draw(androidx.compose.ui.unit.Density,androidx.compose.ui.unit.LayoutDirection,androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Canvas,androidx.compose.ui.geometry.Size,kotlin.Function1)|https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/drawscope/CanvasDrawScope#draw(androidx.compose[…]Size,kotlin.Function1)> do not make any sense.

What specifically doesn’t make sense about that?

Custom implementation of Canvas is terrible experience. Canvas functions are duplicated by DrawScope and DrawScopeContext. Funcion `draw` above does not make any sense because is uses two different implementations in the same function. The implementation relies on Canvas `save` functionality that is not explained in the documentation and seems like leaked abstraction based on Skia design.

My implementation of SVG canvas is here: <https://github.com/SciProgCentre/maps-kt/tree/dev/maps-kt-scheme/src/jvmMain/kotlin/space/kscience/maps/svg>

And it is ugly as hell.
