Can it render text?  If so, I'll probably port Plot2kill to it if it becomes part
of Phobos at some point.  It would be kind of cool to have minimal Plot2kill
functionality with zero third-party dependencies.  If it's so basic that it can't
even do text rendering, then I have my doubts about whether there are very many
use cases for something so simple.
