+	This requests sets the region of the surface that contain
+	opaque content.  The opaque region is an optimization hint for
+	the compositor that lets it optimize out redrawing of content
+	behind opaque regions.  Setting an opaque region is not
+	required for correct behaviour, but marking transparent
+	content as opaque will result in repaint artifacts.
+
+	The region will be clipped to the extents of the current
+	surface size.  Setting the region has copy semantics, and the
+	region object can be destroyed immediately after setting the
+	opaque region.  If a buffer of a different size is attached or
+	if a nil region is set, the opaque region will revert back to
+	default.  The default opaque region is empty.
