        // Currently, the dashed / dotted implementation only supports a single colour +

        // Supporting individual widths + colours on each side is possible by modifying
        // the current implementation. The idea is that we will draw four different lines
        // and clip appropriately for each side (might require adjustment of phase so that
        // they line up but even browsers don't do a good job at that).
        //
        // Firstly, create two paths for the outer and inner paths. The inner path is
        // generated exactly the same way as the outer, just given an inset rect, derived
        // from the insets on each side. Then clip using the odd-even rule
        // (CGContextEOClip()). This will give us a nice rounded (possibly) clip mask.

        //
        // Afterwards, we create a clip path for each border side (CGContextSaveGState()
        // and CGContextRestoreGState() when drawing each side). The clip mask for each
        // segment is a trapezoid connecting corresponding edges of the inner and outer
        // rects. For example, in the case of the top edge, the points would be:
