maybe i got the terminology wrong.

i wasn't referring to that LCD hack, if that's what you're thinking of,
but of being able to specify finer resolutions for (say) the
endpoints of lines than single pixels, and perhaps
have the primitives use alpha blending (i.e. non boolean mask)
to achieve a decent result.

some already allow the former, internally (e.g. _memfillpolysc).
