Not necessarily. I could be drawing something like this, right?

	cairo_set_source_surface (surface, x, y);

	cairo_scale (cr, sx, sy);

	/* create path */

	cairo_fill (cr);

But I don't have much of an argument that this is more than a
contrived example. All I have to back it up so far is a pair of test
cases where I was trying to draw the same thing in two different
ways. So I don't have much intuition behind this example, (since I was
deliberately attempting different orders of operations to stress the
code). But there's at least _some_ intuition in what I expected the
results to be.
