Sorry this is the 3rd time I answer my own question... I worked out that it is \
possible to expose the buffer of a clipped region of an existing cairo surface \
directly as a multi-dimensional numpy array. So one could do a rather fast vector \
product between that and another region to see if there is there is any overlap. The \
code is from line 150 onwards:

https://github.com/rougier/freetype-py/pull/55/commits/e94090455dfb871581cc3c242a086d725f743389


and the result of packed drawings:

I think it might be possible to do such things without using numpy, with a \
combination of drawing the 2nd shape as a reverse mask and see if \
cairo_fill_extents() goes to zero... anyway, for another time.

There is also something not-obvious in the cairo documentation: what do drawing \
operations do to FORMAT_A1/FORMAT_A8 surfaces, if I am just using them as plain gray \
drawing surfaces? I thought I'd just get 1-bit/8-bit equivalent operations (i.e. \
things going B/W or gray-scale). The answer is only obvious on hind-sight - A1/A8 \
means "alpha". Only the alpha channel of any drawing operation has any effect. Can \
somebody update the documentation to make it a bit more obvious? \

 i.e. this calculates if L will draw on
 anything previously drawn in I. I am trying to figure out
 how to do this in cairo.
 
 How does one check if two shapes
 overlap, or two paths intersect, in cairo?
