Ignore that mail :-) I thought you were talking about
the (somewhat ugly) conditionalization of stroke() vs.
stroke_preserve() in your example.
  
I agree that save()/set_target_surface()/restore()
is something we don't have to worry about ... but what
about the group API? Aren't we going to have the same
problem there?

What you could do is:

 cairo_begin_group (cr);
 <draw the fill pattern>
 fill_pattern = cairo_end_group (cr);

 cairo_begin_group (cr);
 <draw the stroke pattern>
 stroke_pattern = cairo_end_group (cr);

 <draw the path> 

 cairo_set_source (cr, fill_pattern);
 cairo_fill_preserve (cr);
 
 cairo_set_source (cr, stroke_pattern);
 cairo_stroke (cr);
 
 cairo_pattern_destroy (fill_pattern);
 cairo_pattern_destroy (stroke_pattern);

Which is probably fine for an unusual operation. (Since
the group API is only useful for non-repeating masking of
a source, not repeating fills)
