Thanks, I'll have a look to see if I can find the right level of abstraction.

A quite difficult to understand (for me) issue is that _emit_surface() is quite
different from what the highlighted functions do to print the indexing
information. In particular _emit_surface() seems to pop all the objects on the
stack until it reaches the target surface, which seems quite destructive, while
our functions all try different indexing strategies to pick the right surface
without altering the stack.
