<p>Keeping with the theme of declarative and functional code, Sly&rsquo;s
rendering module provide a purely functional interface to the
imperative world of OpenGL.  An abstraction on top of OpenGL known as
&ldquo;render combinators&rdquo; provide a convenient way to describe and
compose rendering pipelines.
