Indeed good idea, I am implementing like that with slightly different
names (TFPCustomRegion and IsPointInRegion).

And what about adding virtual to many drawing methods in
TFPCustomCanvas? This way TCanvas could override them more cleanly
without the need to hide them.

I know that the design is to make people implement DoRectangle, etc,
instead, but I can clearly see a case for changing more directly the
behavior. Also fcl-image comes without debug info, so removing the
methods from TCanvas would bring a debugging annoyance.
