What would be interesting IMO is going one step further with a small 2D rendering API, like the one in SDL2, where it's possible to define textures and do render calls with an affine transform and a color compositing mode applied. This API could be implemented in hardware or in software depending on the capabilities of the backend. This would help when re-implementing more recent games, and could also be leveraged in the GUI.
