How about a more descriptive name like - "ERASE_REALLY_ERASES"?

I am not sure what you mean by "does nothing to text previously
output". It is true that that text is still rendered to the PS file - BUT
it will end up being "covered" in the final document.
And what about the case where you are doing GDI/Win32 rendering to
a Postscript or PCL device (or even something like PDFWriter) where you end
up with "text coverage" instead of "real erasure"??
