I was having a play with this idea because it looked fun, and hit a couple of big questions around it. Currently padding in panels doesn't have any style applied, so even if you add a new BoxBorder using the character set shown in that blog post you don't get the pretty filled box because panels don't fill their background. Secondly to set the style of the border correctly you need to know the outer contexts style because some of the characters need to render with the borders foreground color, but the outside contexts background color. Tracking all that manually seems prone to mistakes. Thirdly BoxBorder is also used for things like Rule and Calender and it's not clear that these new more complicated styles should also be applied to those as well?
