[Inkscape-devel] Flood fill suggestion - Bound threshold

Some of the stuff I do with the calligraphy tool has gaps between sections I would like to colour. Visually the gaps don't bother me, but I can't use Flood Fill when the area isn't properly closed.

It would be nice there was a threshold where we could say that gaps of a certain size should be considered closed. I imagine it would be like a thickness to the paint where if it's very thick it can't flow through a small gap.
