So you noticed that subsurfaces and transient windows are very similer,
huh? :-)
In all seriousness, I strongly suggest that these concepts be merged.
There is no difference except the compositor is not allowed to insert
other surfaces in the stacking between a subsurface and it's parent,
while it is allowed to do this for a transient.
