After a deal of messing about I’ve found that while you can set
‘smoothing’ options system wide, they seem to be slightly different
from what we’re looking at here.

Have you submitted code to Emacs before?

Can someone advise: I’ve added a few bits and pieces of boilerplate to
make this patch build on all supported macOS versions, but it’s
pushing it up to 15 lines. Is that going to be a problem?
