Definitely!  That would be cool.

For pygame 1.9 it'd need to be ready within 4 weeks, with tests and
docs.  For 1.9.1 there's at least 4-5 months to go.


Would _multi methods work with different multiple arguments?  eg
multiple surfaces, multiple dst rects, multiple source rects?
Or you could just do one method for each multiple... or detect the
case based on the input arguments.


Probably best to just do your use case... (which is multiple src
rects?)... then raise NotImplementedError for other combinations.

I don't think that'd take long to make.
