/**
 * Native bindings to the ARB_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 by transform feedback can be retrieved from the GL through query objects. The result of a query object is acquired by the
 * application through the OpenGL API into a client provided memory location. 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 result of a query object may be retrieved into a buffer object instead of client memory. This allows
 * the query rsult 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 object CPU-GPU synchronization
 * event.
 * 
 * The extension allows acquiring the result of any query object type supported by the GL implementation 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}.
