Yes, I know (it exists in all versions that output an image while rendering).
Perhaps this would even suffice. But AFAIK mosaic only calculates one
preliminary pass (every 8th pixel or something). What I had in mind though was
something like "render every 8th line, then every 4th, every 2nd etc." i.e.
recursive subdivision. I believe rendering in whole lines is necessary for AA.
