btw the quartz backend leaves antialiasing of strokes on even if you
ask for it off (vlad left a comment in the code explaining this).
Antialiasing can however be turned off for fills. The quartz backend
also has a bug in the rectangle-rounding-error test case which makes
the drawn rectangle slightly too large (as I recall) and may mask the
same problem happening on that backend. In short, I wouldn't draw firm
conclusions from its behaviour.
