+ * Enables or disables sub-surface synchronization
+ *
+ * When synchronization is enabled, surface commits on the subsurface
+ * will be cached and only applied when the parent surface's state is
+ * applied.  This ensures atomic updates of the parent and all of its
+ * synchronized sub-surfaces.
+ *
+ * When synchronization is disabled, commits will apply to the pending
+ * state directly without caching, just like a normal wl_surface.  If
+ * there are already cached events when this is set, those events are
+ * applied simultaneously with the desync event.
+ *
+ * Attempting to enable synchronization when the subsurface already
+ * thinks it's sync'd, or desync when it believes its desync'd, will
+ * be trivially ignored and will not generate a Wayland event.
+ *
+ * See Wayland's set_desync documentation for further details and
+ * exceptional cases.
