From the page you linked, it sounds like it only supports exact scaling factors of 2x, 3x and 4x. Which would be a bummer (having to fall back to other algorithms for other scales). But maybe it could improve the common case a lot.
If you combine them you can also get 6x, 8x, 9x...
And then downsample if needed - the quality will still be better than bilinear
