/**
* SECTION:meta-cullable
* @title: MetaCullable
* @short_description: CPU culling operations for efficient drawing
*
* When we are painting a stack of 5-10 large actors, the standard
* bottom-to-top method of drawing every actor results in a tremendous
* amount of overdraw. If these actors are painting textures like
* windows, it can easily max out the available memory bandwidth on a
* low-end graphics chipset. It's even worse if window textures are
* being accessed over the AGP bus.
*
* #MetaCullable is our solution. The basic technique applied here is to
* do a pre-pass before painting where we walk each actor from top to bottom
* and ask each actor to "cull itself out". We pass in a region it can copy
* to clip its drawing to, and the actor can subtract its fully opaque pixels
* so that actors underneath know not to draw there as well.

* it obscures, so we skip the actor.
*
* This has a secondary beneficial effect: if a ClutterOffscreenEffect
* is applied to an actor, then our clipped redraws interfere with the
* caching of the FBO - even if we only need to draw a small portion
* of the window right now, ClutterOffscreenEffect may use other portions
* of the FBO later. So, skipping actors with effects applied also
* prevents these bugs.
*
* Theoretically, we should check clutter_actor_get_offscreen_redirect()

*
* When #MetaWindowGroup is painted, we walk over its direct cullable
* children from top to bottom and ask themselves to "cull out". Cullables
* can use @unobscured_region and @clip_region to clip their drawing. Actors
* interested in eliminating overdraw should copy the @clip_region and only
* paint those parts, as everything else has been obscured by actors above it.
*
* Actors that may have fully opaque parts should also subtract out a region
* that is fully opaque from @unobscured_region and @clip_region.
*
* @unobscured_region and @clip_region are extremely similar. The difference
* is that @clip_region starts off with the stage's clip, if Clutter detects
* that we're doing a clipped redraw. @unobscured_region, however, starts off
* with the full stage size, so actors that may want to record what parts of
* their window are unobscured for e.g. scheduling repaints can do so.
*
* Actors that have children can also use the meta_cullable_cull_out_children()
