Maybe my description wasn't clear.  The structure I presented was a
form of a tree, and at each level of the tree, you would have some
properties and some other graphics objects.  I think we could further
simplify this so that each graphic object is a structure with four
elements:

  id            a serial number, so we can look up this object given a handle
  parent-id     so we can go up the structure if necessary
  properties    a structure array of (name, value) pairs
  children      an array of other graphics objects
