Possibly you wouldn't care. However, if any transformation
feature were to be added, the theory behind it ought to be
properly thought out, I believe.

I don't think that would be strictly necessary, because you
would be able to get the same effect by adjusting the translation
by 0.5 pixels.

Also, providing too many options could just lead to confusion.
Surfaces already have a bewildering collection of options --
let's not add any more if we don't have to!
