Description

Noticed pretty quickly that there's no XlibSurface support for Cairo.
It appears I don't even have access to XlibSurface, when accessing Cairo from lgi.
Is there any plan to add support for it?

Research direction

Start by inspecting how lgi exposes Cairo and whether XlibSurface is available through its GObject-Introspection bindings. Confirm the supported Cairo surface types and determine what would be required for XlibSurface to be accessible from Lua; done means it can be used through lgi.
