If you can do something wrong when designing an API, OpenGL has done it. People are hard at work in cleaning up the mess with newer GL versions, but it's not there yet.
In particular, you cannot write a library that "integrates" with OpenGL. Which is why none exists. All you can do with GL is assume complete ownership of everything GL and hope nobody else wants to use it. Compared to the hell that is OpenGL, Cairo is like floating through the clouds with Megan Fox on your left and Emma Watson to your right while a choir of angels sings in the background.
