Multiple dabs for a single brush

I think it would be nice to be able to use a list of dabs (ideally with customizable chance of each being used) instead of a single one. It would be especially useful for painterly brushes or brushes meant to fill in parts of the background rather...

This video shows that it is possible to blend proper as traditional do. This is nothing the user can install, the developers have to incorporate it into the software. Rebelle 5 already use it and I want Painter to take benefit of this to. https://...
