Maybe make the border setting a string containing the various characters by index. Then everyone can create their own crazy borders.
I seriously though about it, but not sure if it is good way.
- So we still have to deliver some basic set of styles still.
- People prefer prefabricate solution with simply activation now - so customization use only a few people
- buitin style requires about 110 bytes and it is safe and verified, dynamic styling requires some parser, maybe some other checks
So for this use case I prefer very primitive (and simple) design as was proposed.
