+ * Many platforms have dedicated hardware for simple composition.
+ * This hardware is usually faster or more power efficient than the
+ * GPU.  However, in exchange for this better performance, generality
+ * has to be sacrificed: no 3d transforms, no intermediate surfaces,
+ * no special shader effects, loss of other goodies depending on the
+ * platform.
+ *
+ * Composer2D is a very simple interface to this class of hardware
+ * that allows an implementation to "try rendering" with the fast
+ * path.  If the given layer tree requires more generality than the
+ * hardware provides, the implementation should bail and have the
+ * layer manager fall back on full GPU composition.
