Comment 3 for bug 386675

Doesn't really sound like something viable, considering what SVG can do. Still, it's not impossible either

If something like this is to be implemented, probably it would be best to have the possibility of rotating/skewing/resizing a path without touching its transformation matrix. Or a possibility to modify the transformation matrix and counter-modify the object by the same amount. This way, it would be more obvious what's actually going on.
