I hope this makes sense, I think it's a fairly simple idea - if not let me know and I'll draw it :-)
See attached .jpg - my thought is that if you could just cover a picture with some uniform paths (made from stroke to path) and then have thick/thinning applied to them across a regular grid (red dots) you could make these engraved style pics with a lot of complexity and detail very quickly and easily. Obviously my example's just a simple mock up.
I wish I'd kept the box-lunch box that had the graphic on it that inspired this idea - I think it makes the point more obvious.
I'm not demanding that anyone do this, of course :-), just trying to explain what I think would be a really high impact capability from pieces that are already in the codebase.
