Hi. Your patch deletes the existing answer that contains an explanation
and alternative (IMHO, better) solutions. I am against this.
Automatic hinting is not the same as antialiasing. Automatic hinting
adds .5 pixels if the line width is odd, 0 pixels if the line width is
even. The effect of antialiasing is not defined in case when the line
width is odd. The actual line width may be 1 pixel more or 1 pixel less.
Therefore, automatic hinting should be a separate option with defined
behavior.
