Completely forgot about MirBufferStream too. When it was first
introduced some years ago I suggested more correct (and elegant) names were:
MirSurface -> MirWindow
MirBufferStream -> MirSurface
Now we've got a third object 'MirRenderSurface' coming I'm not even sure
what the ideal naming scheme is.
Can we avoid having three objects and somehow keep it at two? Isn't
MirBufferStream going to be just a specific case/mode of a MirRenderSurface?

that was still only an ideal though...
More realistically I think we'll probably end up keeping MirSurface as
is, because that nomenclature has permeated too far beyond a single
codebase already. That just makes finding a better name for
MirRenderSurface a bit more difficult.

MirRenderSurface I hope will get a shorter name that closer to a

the existing MirSurface becomes MirWindow is quite ambitious.
Agree. I think it needs to be done before 1.0, and would be nice to do
before making the header public.
Are we really intending to rework all the code "out there" that refers
to MirSurface?!
I agree the name is wrong, but I think the time to change it has
passed[*].
