Yeah, it is nice.

I wonder if the "brush" method could be done in Blender like in
http://sudakyo.hp.infoseek.co.jp/gimp/fblur/focusblur_e.html as that
would allow real bokeh, the one that depends in blade shape and glass
distortions too http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/bokeh.htm

Using fg and bg separation, it would even allow for different look as
in real camera http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/bokeh.shtml

I read the code a bit more and found that lens is also used, same
reasoning, image can come from other place, cameras can change and
swapping to separate contexts is not fast.
