Flowables are decorated with the canvas at certain times. The canvas is 
available as self.canv in the draw, wrap and split methods (more recently we 
started adding ._frame). I think this daftness results from early python 
problems with memory being eaten up when circular loops are created so we 
avoided setting the top level contexts onto the children for fear of creating 
loops. The difficulty in general is that I can assemble the story elements long 
before the canvas even exists so its hard to ensure we always have the canvas 
and other contexts.
