You can even set it to 0.031415926535897932384626433832795 if you like :P

The main issue is that the AA threshold is specified as an absolute value, so
for instance when you set AA to 0.1, if one pixel is at 1.0 it will kick in if
the neighboring pixel differs by 10%, but if one pixel is at 0.1 it will kick
in only if the neighboring pixel differs by 100%.

Maybe this should be one for the TODO list.
