+/* There are few aspects here:
+ *   - macOS is strict about including both gl.h and gl3.h
+ *   - libepoxy only pretends to be a replacement for gl.h
+ *   - OpenSubdiv internally uses `OpenGL/gl3.h` on macOS
+ *
+ * In order to silence the warning pretend that gl3 has been included, fully relying on symbols
+ * from the epoxy.
+ *
+ * This works differently from how OpenSubdiv internally will use `OpenGL/gl3.h` without epoxy.
+ * Sounds fragile, but so far things seems to work. */
