//       Class : VertexBufferContext
// Description : This is a special class object that holds all the
//               information returned by a particular GSG to indicate
//               the vertex data array's internal context identifier.
//
//               This allows the GSG to cache the vertex data array in
//               whatever way makes sense.  For instance, DirectX can
//               allocate a vertex buffer for the array.  OpenGL can
//               create a buffer object.
