And the critical item on my list there is a high-level interface for the
GL backend. We're using the tessellation routines designed for xrender all
too frequently, and not taking advantage of simple geometry...

And Andrea has got me excited about doing cairo_shape_t again. The benefit
here is that it is meant to be a backend cache of the tessellated
geometry. That would require application level support to fully exploit.
