Unclosed Shape Filling Feature?

Now that Moho has frame by frame animation ability and great freehand drawing with minimized points it would be wonderful if Moho also had the ability to detect and fill unclosed vector shapes. Illustrator has a feature that can do this and it is brilliant. I wonder if this could be a possibility in the form of a script?
Comments welcome.
Cheers

I opened a mantis ticket 35825 back in AS11 days asking for thresholds on freehand so that below X% pressure you got zero width stroke. The idea was that you can close the path (and choose the shape of the curve between the points that would otherwise be end points) to make the shape fillable but not have a stroke visible (ofc there might be many such invisible segments).
from a scripting perspective I could see a solution that looks for (two?!) endpoints in the selected points, joins them, sets the new segment to invisible (or maybe creates two extra points joined with a zero width stroke - so that the width taper doesn't spread away from the join), and creates a filled shape.

Hi hayasidist.
It would certainly be a handy tool! FBF animators can certainly draw frame to frame in Moho but they can't necessarily color what they create without such a tool. Kinda makes sense?
