In another thread yesterday, someone was asking about a general way to
create a shadow effect.  It occurred to me that we could probably use
the offsetbox for this.  One could create an offset box for a given
artist that draws the artist offset from the original by 5 points or 5
pixels, in a gray color that creates the appearance of a shadow.
Would this be a reasonable use case to test the offset transformation
in either points or pixels?
