[Feature request] Stabilizer with delay allows for pressure

I've found that when I am using the stabilizer feature with the delay, I have no control over how the beginning of the line is formed. The beginning seems to taper off if I have pressure size turned on. This makes sense, since the circle doesn't really allow for anything to happen inside it (i.e. the pen doesn't move), but I would like to be able to use the stabilizer and still be able to control the size of the beginning of the line. Could a switch (one of the little checkmark boxes) be built in so that the pressure works within the circle, even when the pen isn't moving?

I can get pressure control here with delay option enabled. Eg:

How does look yours?

This has the same problem, you have pressure control on the middle and end of the line but not on the beginning. Both of those lines start really thin; the beginning of the lines are tapered. You can't draw lines that are wide then thin then wide

With the delay disabled I can draw this in a single stroke by using high pressure then low pressure and high pressure again:

But I can't make a smooth version of this line by enabling the delay because the beginning wants to needle point:

This is a problem because, when I'm doing line art, I can't begin lines properly.

In the "tool option"; you probably need to uncheck "Stabilize Sensors" to get this effect ; because with sensors stabilized (size is a sensor) it will always starts with the size '0' or at minima (when the stylus tip touch the surface) creating this shape of needle. Without this option, you'll get more control on the start of your stroke:

I guess there is no perfect solution for that, the delay function is apparently tied to both position and sensor. Unckeck delay and you have better pressure smoothing but clean lines are a bit more difficult to draw.
I don't know if technically it is possible, but maybe if the stabilizer options could be set differently, for position and the pressure sensor? Like if you set the "delay" option with "stabilize sensors" enabled too, it would be nice to have a "delay affects sensors" checkbox.
