struct ncplane;   // a drawable notcurses surface, composed of cells
struct ncvisual;  // a visual bit of multimedia opened with LibAV
struct notcurses; // notcurses state for a given terminal, composed of ncplanes

// A cell corresponds to a single character cell on some plane, which can be
// occupied by a single grapheme cluster (some root spacing glyph, along with
// possible combining characters, which might span multiple columns). At any
// cell, we can have a theoretically arbitrarily long UTF-8 string, a foreground
// color, a background color, and an attribute set. Valid grapheme cluster
// contents include:
//
//  * A NUL terminator,
//  * A single control character, followed by a NUL terminator,
//  * At most one spacing character, followed by zero or more nonspacing
//    characters, followed by a NUL terminator.
//
// Multi-column characters can only have a single style/color throughout.
// Existence is suffering, and thus wcwidth() is not reliable. It's just
// quoting whether or not the EGC contains a "Wide Asian" double-width
// character. This is set for some things, like most emoji, and not set for
// other things, like cuneiform. Fucccccck. True display width is a *property
// of the font*. Fuccccccccckkkkk. Among the longest Unicode codepoints is
//
//    U+FDFD ARABIC LIGATURE BISMILLAH AR-RAHMAN AR-RAHEEM ﷽
//
// wcwidth() rather optimistically claims this suicide bomber of a glyph to
// occupy a single column, right before it explodes in your diner. BiDi text
// is too complicated for me to even get into here. It sucks ass. Be assured
// there are no easy answers. Allah, the All-Powerful, has fucked us again!
//
// Each cell occupies 16 static bytes (128 bits). The surface is thus ~1.6MB
// for a (pretty large) 500x200 terminal. At 80x43, it's less than 64KB.
// Dynamic requirements (the egcpool) can add up to 32MB to an ncplane, but
// such large pools are unlikely in common use.
//
// We implement some small alpha compositing. Foreground and background both
// have two bits of inverted alpha. The actual grapheme written to a cell is
// the topmost non-zero grapheme. If its alpha is 00, its foreground color is
// used unchanged. If its alpha is 10, its foreground color is derived entirely
// from cells underneath it. Otherwise, the result will be a composite.
// Likewise for the background. If the bottom of a coordinate's zbuffer is
// reached with a cumulative alpha of zero, the default is used. In this way,
// a terminal configured with transparent background can be supported through
// multiple occluding ncplanes. A foreground alpha of 11 requests high-contrast
// text (relative to the computed background). A background alpha of 11 is
// currently forbidden.
