Maybe we could add it as an optional feature enabled with a 
command-line option?

I think there's a command line format for features like this 
"-feature=miltialias" or something.

That way if there really are issues we could demonstrate them and 
remove the feature later, or if no issues are found it could be 
enabled by default.
