This makes no sense to me. I can submit a patch so that all lower version functions are loaded when the higher version is loaded (hope it is understood what I mean). I already modified the glext file and just want to know if there is any interest or if the current behaviour has any advantages I fail to see.

Because I only need one working function. I am just trying to understand the limitations of the bindings as there seems to be no documentation. If I will use them, I'd like to improve the current situation and make them as standard complient as possible.
