OpenGL.GL.AMD.name_gen_delete

OpenGL extension AMD.name_gen_delete

This module customises the behaviour of the OpenGL.raw.GL.AMD.name_gen_delete to provide a more Python-friendly API

Overview (from the spec)

This extension simply creates 2 new entry-points that name generic creation and deletion of names. The intent is to go away from API functionality that provides a create/delete function for each specific object.

For example: glGenTextures/glDeleteTextures/glIsTexture glGenBuffers/glDeleteBuffers/IsBuffer glGenFramebuffers/glDeleteFramebuffers/IsFramebuffer

Instead, everything is created using one entry-point GenNamesAMD and everything is now deleted with another entry-point DeleteNamesAMD with the appropriate identifier set. In addition, everything can now be queried with IsNameAMD.

This alleviates the problem we may eventually encounter where we have many Gen/Delete/Is functions where 3 might suffice. All that is needed in the new case is to add a valid identifier to the accepted parameters list.
