Yeah, I guess it's not explained very much on the PR — the idea is that
the library interface will expose hooks that are designed to allow an
application that's just a very small wrapper around the full compositor
implementation in the library to take over certain things, such as in
this case doing a permission check of its choice before telling the
compositor whether to proceed with something — something always on my
mind is controlling access to the clipboard, for example.
