@package ObjectName
@version 1.0.1.0


-- | Object names are explicitly handled identifiers for API objects, e.g.
--   a texture object name in OpenGL or a buffer object name in OpenAL.
--   They come in two flavors: If a name can exist on its own without an
--   associated object, we have a <a>GeneratableObjectName</a>, otherwise
--   we have an <a>ObjectName</a>.

-- | An <a>ObjectName</a> is an explicitly handled identifier for API
--   objects, e.g. a texture object name in OpenGL or a buffer object name
--   in OpenAL.

-- | A <a>GeneratableObjectName</a> is an <a>ObjectName</a> which can be
--   generated without creating an associated object at the same time, e.g.
--   an OpenGL buffer object name. Note that e.g. OpenGL program object
--   names do not fall into this category, because you can only create such
--   a name together with a program object itself.
