The canvas specification maintains:
These shapes are painted without affecting the current path, and are
subject to shadow effects, global alpha, the clipping region, and global
composition operators. [0]
But no browsers I tested actually implement the "clipping region" part.
Should this be removed for backwards compatibility reasons? Should we
introduce a new method of clipping text be introduced, or should we just
require users who want to draw clipped text to draw to a scratch canvas and
use drawImage to copy the pixels?
