#65 Interrupted lines

[Blaise Li]

It would be useful if there was an easy and clean way to draw interrupted lines, the kind of thing used to evoke a discontinuity:

-------//------

Right now, I used the following hack, which gives a satisfying result:

\path (X1.center) -- ++(60:2.5)
    node[midway,sloped,inner sep=0] (skip){$//$} 
    node (R1) {$R_1$};
\draw (X1) -- (skip) -- (R1);

But It would be better if something cleaner was available, with options for different styles of interruption symbols.

(And while I'm here: thank you very much for TikZ.)
