[cairo] Operator optimization based on source or dest opacity

Great, I hadn't noticed that.

Indeed. Is it on any todo list?

I was actually thinking of something, whenever we're doing bilinear 
filtering with an opaque source, we're forced of going the whole 
compositing way, even though we don't really need compositing. All we 
need is to sample from the dest whenever we're oustide the source. 
That would simply require to have a different fetchFromRegion 
function that returns the dest instead of 0 when ouside the image. 
I'm not sure of a clean way to do it right now, but ideas are welcome.

I'm attaching the three new patches. Let me know how it looks now.
Thanks,
Antoine
