[squeak-dev] Proposal for new BitBlt rules (was: We need to talk about graphics)

Changing the subject line to focus on a specific proposal by Juan Vuletich
for an enhancement to BitBlt rules.

The idea originated from discussion on the Cuis list, and the proposal
is documented in an opensmalltalk-vm issue here:

  https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/505

While I am generally familiar with VM issues, I have no experience with
BitBlt and I am not sure exactly what needs to be done to make this
happen. There are VM (plugin) changes needed, and some image side support
will needed as well (at least for fallback code in the image).

So - who knows how to make this happen, and how do we make it so?

Thanks,
Dave
