[cairo] erasing parts of an imagesurface?

[Erik Blankinship]

How do I replace pixels on a cairo ARGB surface with new alpha=0 pixels?

Explanation: I want to "erase" what is painted already, not paint over
pixels with invisible paint (which is what all of my experimentation has
ended up doing).

A pycairo snippet would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
