There's no reason line drawing shouldn't be supported.
A line of some specified width can easily be converted
automatically into a filled polygon, and there can be
a default for the width if it's not specified.

Postscript has a notion of a "hairline": if you set
the width to 0, it draws the narrowest line that the
device can produce, whatever scaling is in effect. For
a PyGame surface that would be 1 pixel.
