The solution we came up with for the OLS paper, (for which we
submitted a title long before Xr could even draw to in-memory images),
was to define Xr as "Cross-device Rendering".
Would it help to keep the same pronunciation, but de-emphasize the X,
(eg. name it xr or XR)? I'm also not a big fan of studly caps, but
went with it originally to match the X libraries. How about:
xr_save (xrs);
xr_move_to (xrs, x, y);
xr_curve_to (xrs, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3);
xr_stroke (xrs);
xr_restore (xrs);
