         Create a layer surface for an existing surface. This assigns the role of
         layer_surface, or raises a protocol error if another role is already
         assigned.

-        Exclusivity allows you to instruct the compositor to avoid arranging
-        other surfaces on top of this surface. For example, a compositor may
-        avoid occluding your surface when the user maximizes a shell surface.
-        However, compositors are permitted to ignore this flag under any
-        circumstances they wish.
