RecordingSurface.create

Creates a recording-surface which can be used to record all drawing operations at the highest level (that is, the level of paint, mask, stroke, fill and show_text_glyphs). The recording surface can then be "replayed" against any target surface by using it as a source to drawing operations. The recording phase of the recording surface is careful to snapshot all necessary objects (paths, patterns, etc.), in order to achieve accurate replay. Since 1.10
