Like I said, doing that kind of work with SDL_gfx sounds great. I just
would love to have any new features I don't see in SDL_gfx, and I
would think it would be better if new feature support in SDL_gfx that
pygame utilizes come from an established tested lib that already has
such features. And AGG is the only one I know that I think fits the
bill.

display_surface.render(source_surface, pos=(100.5, 50.5), scale=(.5,

and then you would have source_surface drawn onto display surface
rotated 45 degrees, red tinted, half transparent, squished to half
size along the x and drawn at a subpixel position instead of clamping
to integer.

The art in this game here was drawn that way:
