+ * plain page — plain white for every light sheet, white over white being
+ * white — and its ink was measured on exactly that colour. What is lost

+ * lighter than the one around it, because both are laid on the page. The
+ * hairline and the plate edge still say where the inner one begins, and the
+ * muted ink reads better on it than it did. Washes, grooves and hairlines stay
+ * as they are; they sit on a sheet, and the sheet is opaque now. The scrim
+ * behind a modal stays as well, since showing the page dimmed is its job.
+ *
+ * It also takes the most expensive thing off the page: a backdrop filter is
+ * applied again on every frame the page moves, so a scroll pays for the blur
+ * under every surface on the screen.
+ *
+ * Every theme root is named, because `var(--neba-surface)` resolves on the
