+/// @warning    In the OpenGL backend, Impeller will not make an effort to
+///             preserve the OpenGL state that is current in the context.
+///             Embedders that perform additional OpenGL operations in the
+///             context should expect the reset state after control transitions
+///             back to them. Key state to watch out for would be the viewports,
