Thinking a bit of it, I guess a difficulty could be, impls would
probably need an additional layer for the transformed shadow in this
case. It doesn't seem to me this could be very hard, but whether it's
worth is another question.

I could be wrong as well, since I'm not mainly working on painting/compositing.
