/**
 * This is a special class object that holds a handle to the sampler state
 * object given by the graphics back-end for a particular combination of
 * texture sampling settings.
 *
 * Some graphics back-ends (like OpenGL) use mutable sampler objects, whereas
 * others (Direct3D 10+) use immutable ones.  In Panda3D, each unique sampler
 * state has its own SamplerContext, which simplifies the implementation and
 * makes redundant sampler objects impossible.
