[Bf-committers] Fake User for Brushes

[Luke Frisken]

I knew someone was going to mention something along those lines! I
think that the inconsistency is from the user's  visual perspective
rather than a technical one. Selecting a brush happens to be a similar
operation to selecting a texture (or selecting anything related to
visual data for that matter) in that regard despite what happens
underneath.

I guess it isn't really a serious problem, when people learn how it
really works, but it shouldn't be too hard to solve either. Regardless
of this, thanks for all the work on the sculpting. And I trust that
whatever happens, it will be good for blender :)
