Scripted solutions are not necessarily horrible, but they're not quite 
MacDraw-like.  See Bugzilla #624 referenced in this thread earlier for 
details.

See also a search for "polygon" in Bugzilla, to see the three bugs 
related to the scripted interim workaround.  To the best of my knowledge 
no bugs have ever been filed for engine-based handles.

For something that fundamental an engine-based solution is the way to 
go, both for consistency of the user experience and general robustness.
