Description James Tocknell 2014-08-25 10:05:56 UTC

Currently it is not possible to check for supported features at runtime. This would allow projects such as cairocffi (https://github.com/SimonSapin/cairocffi) to provide this information (see https://github.com/SimonSapin/cairocffi/issues/33). This would allow for such things as matplotlib using cairocffi instead of pycairo (which currently works HAS_* is added to the file).

Well, it would be more convenient for something like cairocffi to try to load a symbol and see if it fails...
