* variable as usual or programatically set the hint with SDL_SetHint,
* which won't propagate to child processes.
*
* The default value is unset, in which case SDL will try to figure out
* the best video backend on your behalf. This hint needs to be set
* before SDL_Init() is called to be useful.

* This hint is available since SDL 2.0.22. Before then, you could set
