Hi Balazs,
That sounds nice, but is there any timeline for replacing types used by
current version of OpenGL by those in vect?
Since as far as I understand, vect-opengl gives just typecasts,
and thus doesn't really address a problem of using many different
Vector/Vertex types in place of one, and requiring typecasts.
Thus we have AC-Vector that serves similar purpose as vect (and probably
few more similar packages, like hmatrix.)
