/**
 * Native bindings to the AMD_query_buffer_object extension.
 * 
 * Statistics about the operation of the OpenGL pipeline, such as the number of samples that passed the depth test, the elapsed time between two events or
 * the number of vertices written to a transform feedback buffer may be retrieved from the GL through query objects. The current value of a query object
 * may be retrieved by the application through the OpenGL API. Should the result returned by the API be required for use in a shader, it must be passed
 * back to the GL via a program uniform or some other mechanism. This requires a round-trip from the GPU to the CPU and back.
 * 
 * This extension introduces a mechanism whereby the current value of a query result may be retrieved into a buffer object instead of client memory. This
 * allows the query result to be made available to a shader without a round-trip to the CPU for example by subsequently using the buffer object as a
 * uniform buffer, texture buffer or other data store visible to the shader. This functionality may also be used to place the results of many query
 * objects into a single, large buffer and then map or otherwise read back the entire buffer at a later point in time, avoiding a per-query CPU-GPU
 * synchronization event.
 * 
 * The result of any query object type supported by the GL implementation may be retrieved into a buffer object. The implementation will determine the
 * most efficient method of copying the query result to the buffer.
 * 
 * Requires {@link GL15 OpenGL 1.5}.
