+ <description summary="set and retrieve options">
+ This protocol allows clients to access a typed key-value store of
+ options. These options are global but may be overridden using a handle
+ scoped to a wl_output. If no output scoped value has been set, then the
+ global value is provided to this handle.
+
+ This protocol does not define any semantic meaning of the options,
+ that is left up to compositors.
+
+ Compositors are free to set or declare options themselves at any time,
+ though the type of any given option is immutable once set.
+
+ Options are never removed once declared.
+
+ Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the
+ testing phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with
+ the corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes
+ can only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.
