... and then nothing happened.  Ping?  The only code remark was a
whitespace issue on one line :-)

I've been thinking, it looks reasonable to statically check whether
the lod/grad/bias is shared at the glsl level.  Then we could have
separate opcodes for the texturing variants for when we're sure things
are shared and when we aren't.  And pay the cost only when it is
needed.  Would that sound reasonable?
