[External] : Re: Convenience factories for Border and Background

[Kevin Rushforth]

If I recall, there were a few developers that chimed in. It's a simple 
enough addition -- at least your original proposal (not the suggestion 
of mirroring the Color API, which I don't like) -- that it seems OK to me.

Can you repost your currently proposed API and see if those who might 
like to use it are satisfied with it?
