each shape with its own smoothed edge, so where two shapes met edge to
edge (Divide, Shape Builder, abutting art) both half-covered the pixels
on the line and the background showed through as a thin ghost border.
With Art Optimized (the default) these now supersample, as the option's
name in Illustrator says: the art is drawn with hard edges at four times
the size (three or two times for large images, within a 40-megapixel
budget and the renderer's 65,535-pixel side) and each block averaged
into one pixel. Pixels shared by two shapes are fully owned by one or
the other at the finer size, so no seam is left, and the outer edges
are still smooth. The canvas keeps shape-by-shape smoothing for speed;
None and Type Optimized are unchanged.
RenderOptions::supersample turns it on (exports and Rasterize set it).
A render test checks two triangles sharing a diagonal: a seam with
shape-by-shape smoothing, none supersampled, and the factor's limits.

The renderer composited in 8-bit integers, so where a partly transparent
anti-aliased edge crossed opaque art (or a background colour) the result
came out at alpha 254 on some pixels, and PNG, TIFF and WebP files were
written with an alpha channel. Raster exports (and Save for Web) now
composite in floating point (vello_cpu's f32 pipeline, enabled as a
feature), offscreen groups, masks and patterns included; the canvas keeps
the faster 8-bit path.

The dialog's W and H fields send decimal numbers (300.0) and the settings
wanted a whole u32, so the preview failed with "invalid type: floating
point". Pixel sizes now take any number and round it to whole pixels;
negative, huge and non-numeric sizes are still refused.

File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) (Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+Shift+S) opens a dialog with Original,
Optimized, 2-Up and 4-Up views showing each file's size and download time, and settings for
colour reduction, colours, dither, transparency and matte, interlacing, web snap, lossy GIF,
JPEG quality, the colour table (lock, map to transparent, web shift, sort), image size and
anti-aliasing, Clip to Artboard, sRGB, metadata, slices (all or selected), HTML output and
presets. Preview in Browser opens the HTML page.
Engine: document.exportForWeb, document.exportForWeb.preview (its byte count is the size of
the file Save writes), webExport.settings and webExport.presets.list/save/delete. Saved presets
and the remembered settings are stored in Prefs. Render: quantize_locked, and encode::web for
web snap, colour table edits, lossy GIF and GIF/JPEG comments. PNG files get an sRGB chunk.
