/**
 * Native bindings to the WGL_EXT_depth_float extension.
 * 
 * For perspective scenes, the density of objects (vertices) increases as the distance from the eye increases. For a linear depth buffer, this means that
 * objects (vertices) are sparse for a large portion of the depth range and are dense for a small portion of the depth buffer.
 * 
 * This behavior is obvious if you consider standing in a boat looking at the shore. The near objects include only the boat while the far objects include
 * the entire shoreline which may include an entire city.
 * 
 * A non-linear (floating-point) depth buffer helps this problem. If the near clipping plane is set to 1.0, and the far clipping plane is set to 0.0, a
 * much greater resolution of objects can occur.
