What about just using opacity != 1 with a child layer?

[Antoine Labour]

So that if we ever change the behavior of that (e.g. if this layer doesn't have content, and we only have a single child, we could bubble the opacity down), this still works. Also, changing opacity also means adding blending which has different perf characteristics.
It's really a "use a render surface, no questions asked" flag.

I do admit I've wanted this before :)

Seems good but I'd drop the uncalled getters, personally.

Why expose a getter? The caller should know if they've set this or not and if they care track it (I suspect many won't care).

Compulsively adding getters everywhere makes me feel a bit like writing I'm writing Java.

I don't care either way. Removed

Nah, that must be because of the coding style ;)
