You are welcome to try :-)

The thing is, languages like svg nest the drawing commands into groups.  
You can then do something that operates on the whole group as a unit,
in this case turn it on or off.  Very few of the other graphics output
modes work that way.  I don't say it would be impossible, but you'd have
to take a very different approach to implement this behaviour.
