 It would be very nice to be able to stretch the length of labels:
 - either along a line, or inside a polygon
 - either by increasing the space between words, or between letters
 - either by specifying the spacing distance, or by automatically spacing
 to "fill" the length of the polygon or polyline.

 e.g. see the labels on most of the rivers in this map

 e.g. see some of the labels in the attached map (China, Tibet, Arabian
 Sea, etc)
