Is this more than just a convenience thing that allows you to not keep
track of the glitz_surface_t yourself?

The only additional functionality I can think of is that you can get the
glitz_surface_t from a cairo_surface_t created using
cairo_surface_create_similar but if you really need the glitz_surface_t
you shouldn't be using create_similar but instead
cairo_glitz_surface_create.

If it's just a convenience thing, have you considered using
cairo_surface_set_user_data?
