Can we apply the object transformation to the blur kernel rather than blur with an untransformed kernel and trying to transform the rasterised results?

Jasper suggested in this thread that this may be doable. However, this may not be worth doing, because the same thing needs to be done for all other filters too, and not all of them can be "transformed" by varying their parameters. In particular, specifying a low filter resolution must, by Mental's close reading of the spec, result in a visible pixel grid, and that grid must be transformed by the object's transform (e.g. rotated). I don't think this can be done other than by a bitmap-to-bitmap affine transformer.
