Bug Description
It would be very nice to implement a context sensitive
fill tool, that does Just What You Want. I.e. one where
the user can select a colour and click on any location
to perform an appropiate action. e.g.
Click on the interior of a shape to change its fill colour.
Click on the exterior of a shape to change its line colour.
Click on a closed intersection of shapes to create a
new object layered or shaped appropiately to give that
intersection the required colour.
Click on the background to change the background colour.
I'd personally find this really useful.

Most of it boils down to some clever intersecting.
I just had drawn an outline using the calligraphy tool, and
wanted to fill its inside. The fill options of course would
change the color of the outline...
The "workaround" was to merge all my calligraphy paths, then
place a box around it, then intersect these, break the
result apart, and delete the outside.
The result should consist of paths for the original path and
the "interiors".
