All the existing EGL datatypes are opaque.  They _may_ just be 
integers, but that's all you will know about them.  Another 
implementation of EGL may typedef the EGL datatypes to pointers.

EGLConfigs have an EGL_CONFIG_ID attribute which is a small integer 
starting at one.

I suppose we could require the same thing of the EGL_MODE_ID attribute 
of EGLMode.

I guess I'm not sure what you're getting at though.
