Suggestion: A "Shape Profile" in Vector Brush defaults.

The idea behind this is being able to save what's currently called the Pressure Profile to a a profile in the Brush Defaults. Both would be renamed as "Shape Profiles" because while they mimic the results of drawing with using Pressure in the controller what they do is create the shape of the stroke.

The Profile popup in the Stroke Panel would have an extra button next to "Save Profile" called "Copy" or "Copy Profile". This would copy that to the clipboard and the Shape Profile under the Brush Defaults would have "Paste Profile" and "Reset Profile" buttons (the default shape would be the same as it is in the Stroke Panel). The drop-down menu next to that might have several options: None would use the default (flat) profile setting; Shape Profile would on the Pencil and Vector Brush Tool apply the shape to the stroke being drawn (as would clicking on the default after it's drawn); a Rev. Profile might apply the shape in the reverse direction; and Controller would ignore the profile and default to whatever the Controller setting was.

What this would mean is that instead of only having one shape definition (as found in the Stroke Panel) each brush default can have its own, instead of having however many saved profiles there might be under the Stroke Panel.
