True.  And your point would be...?

I don't think that wgl/glX compatibility is an objective here.  And I'm only
suggesting this modification if we step off the cliff of defining a static
order to the dispatch table.  If we don't try to statically define the dispatch
table offsets, then it's not worth monkeying with changing the interface.
