Sounds like a good idea.  Just make sure to change the regtest that uses 
TextScripts with graphics so that the stencil skylines kick in, as it is meant 
to show an extreme example where this is useful.
A bit should also be added in the documentation so that people know how to 
easily activate these skylines.
