In the context of a hypothetical cairo backend based on this, that
wouldn't be needed -- cairo takes care of converting everything
into trapezoids for you.

> Texturing and other advanced features are also not available.

You might be able to take advantage of libpixman and other cairoish
facilities to accomplish that, rather than writing it yourself.
