Yes, this is pretty much what I had in mind, but I'm not sure
if this is so important to change right now. I'd try to focus on
getting a releasable binding for OpenGL and GLU(T) with sane
semantics for CFFI first before making too many accommodations
for hypothetical features which may never get implemented
anyway. But feel free to do it if you're bored. :)
