That's a good point Robert,
If the GLContext work that steve and felipe did become an actual thing,
this would help that cause become cross platform.
Angle also is strictly es2, and I haven't looked at prism es2 in a while
but I think we use GL2 calls for desktop in some cases. We would have to
address those cases (if even possible) before any work started.

The argument could be made that if we did indeed use angle, we could ditch
our directx 9 pipeline altogether and just use "one" hardware pipeline. We
would really have to evaluate this though, and I am not sure the work would
be worth the benefit (if there even is any).
Well, at least the presence of the directx pipeline was used as an
argument against exposing a GL context via a low-level native api,
which quite a number of people with particular graphics/performance
requirements need IIRC, so this would be a potential benefit.
