Which is backporting changes from 3.18 into 3.16, so it would seem that something *has* been done so far. In 
addition to "Retina" look for "HiDPI", which is what it's called in the non-Mac world.

FWIW I built Bluefish yesterday against gtk+ master and it looked OK on my 2560x1920 monitor except that it 
hasn't been modified for the Adwaita theme so most of the toolbar icons were missing. That's the same 
resolution as a Retina MBP though it's a 27" monitor so only ~120 dpi. I'm not sure if that would make 
pixellation more or less obvious.
