But isn't this what I just say? Or did I misunderstand you? Or did you
misunderstand me? :o

That's exactly what I have at the moment (mine is called ``sc()``, but
that's irrelevant... :)).

I still think that's a "missing battery" thing though. I haven't
browsed much into code of games on pygame.org, but I wouldn't be
astonished if a large portion (probably even the majority) of the code
would internally use a non-scaled model, to be transformed at
representation time...

Anyhow: not a big issue, it's just that is not an uncommon feature in
other libraries and I feel that inserting it in pygame would make
pygame better, but I *can* live without. :)
