Ah. Would make sense with a test case for this in wayland-scanner I'd
say, so we don't add other things that would make it not compile with a
c++ compiler.

Anyhow, "export_surface" or maybe even "export_toplevel" (as that is the only
thing we allow exporting anyway) seems fine to me. The "import" request
should be renamed in a similar manner as well then.
