I don't think so. Supersampling is something you want on at most a
per-surface basis. But I want to be able to control antialiasing
per-drawing-operation; applications knowing that certain drawing
operations will not form seams can use coverage antialiasing for those
operations. For example, text glyphs will almost always fall into this
category. Rounded border corners can also fall into this category.
