Looks like no one has responded to your message yet.

Thank you for pointing this out.  It does indeed sound like a problem
with the current implementation.

I'll have to think about this a bit more.  Do I understand you
correctly that you would like there to be a more general interface for
marshaling data in the OpenGL binding?

Thanks!
