Description
In Sierra there is a new feature of an overlay video window that's resizable and stays put on all spaces. If it is at all possible to implement this behaviour in mpv, I would very much appreciate it being added. I am aware of an already available overlay function. However, this overlaid window stays on the space it was put, not floating above different spaces.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating mpv's existing overlay function and macOS window handling, then determine whether a resizable window can remain above all Spaces. Done means the behavior matches macOS Sierra Picture-in-Picture expectations without breaking the existing overlay behavior.
