/// Adds a platform view (e.g an iOS UIView) to the scene.
///
/// This is work in progress and is not currently supported on any platform.
/// Only supported on iOS, this is currently a no-op on other platforms.
///
/// On iOS this layer splits the current output surface into two surfaces, one for the scene nodes
/// preceding the platform view, and one for the scene nodes following the platform view.
///
/// ## Performance impact
///
/// Adding an additional surface doubles the amount of graphics memory directly used by Flutter
/// for output buffers. Quartz might allocated extra buffers for compositing the Flutter surfaces
/// and the platform view.
///
/// With a platform view in the scene, Quartz has to composite the two Flutter surfaces and the
/// embedded UIView. In addition to that, on iOS versions greater than 9, the Flutter frames are
/// synchronized with the UIView frames adding additional performance overhead.
