We might be able to do some sort of hack where if a 2D canvas isn't drawn
to for a while (say five seconds), we read back a copy of it for
safe-keeping.

I have to say though, we've been shipping 2D canvas with the context-loss
problem to millions of users for a couple of years now and I don't recall
seeing any bug reports about it. And it's the sort of bug users would
notice if it happened.

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your Father in heaven. ... If you love those
who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors
doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more
than others?" [Matthew 5:43-47]
