    // know if some program on the computer is unredirected by the DWM, that
    // is, whether some program is in exclusive fullscreen mode. Exclusive
    // fullscreen programs acquire an undocumented mutex: __DDrawExclMode__. If
    // this is acquired, it's probably by mpv. Even if it isn't, the penalty
    // for incorrectly guessing true (dropped frames) is better than the
    // penalty for incorrectly guessing false (tearing.)

    // Testing this mutex is another problem. There is no public function for
    // testing a mutex without attempting to acquire it, but that method won't
    // work because if mpv is in fullscreen, the mutex will already be acquired
    // by this thread (in ddraw.dll) and Windows will happily let it be
    // acquired again. Instead, use the undocumented NtQueryMutant function to
    // test the mutex.

    // Note: SHQueryUserNotificationState uses this mutex internally, but it is
    // probably not suitable because it sends a message to the shell instead of
    // testing the mutex directly. mpv will check for exclusive mode once per
    // frame, so if the shell is not running or not responding, it may cause
    // performance issues.
