Cool.

Excellent.   When I have a moment to breathe, I'll dust off the old 
example and fix it up to actually show the drawing speed in the window 
with the drawing + a popup to select between different styles of 
drawing.

Similar wrapping should also exist for the rest of the NSGraphics 
functional API, but that should likely be held off until we know 
exactly what performance advantages, if any, are gained through the 
different calling styles.
