As of the latest in the git repo, `bitmap%' has a `get-handle' method,
which you could use to get a `cairo_surface_t' for a bitmap.

Alternatively, you could use the new `make-handle-brush' from
`racket/draw/unsafe/brush', which lets you use a `cairo_surface_t'
directly as a brush. That's probably better; I imagine that it would
avoid rasterization of the PDF content if you're drawing back out to
something like a new PDF stream.
