Hi Behdad,

Why would this be generic to all surfaces, rather than specific to
PS/PDF surfaces? The API wouldn't make much sense for (eg.) GDI, X11,
Quartz, meta, directfb, BeOS, or image surfaces. I'm thinking that
it's a lot more akin to the SVG surface's restrict_to_version()
primitive.

BTW, nice patch, Adrian.

Best,
Dom
