I can't quite put my finger on why, but I really dislike this code 
reuse.  It just seems really awkward to me.

I feel like the code reuse is minimal; we're sharing really simple code 
here - nothing complicated.  Instead we get one packet split across 
multiple functions in separate files, making it harder to follow.

Plus, you end up with a function that awkwardly emits four separate 
packets...but it doesn't even know the names of the packets.  You have 
to pass them in via a struct.  It doesn't even know the length of the 
final packet.

Personally, I'd like to split the binding table and sampler table code 
out of the unit state.  (I had originally done them as a separate atom, 
but Eric suggested doing it this way.)

Instead, I'd envisioned uploading the new tables when we create them: 
the function that creates a new VS binding table would also emit 
3DSTATE_BINDING_TABLE_POINTERS_VS to upload it.  That way it's all tied 
neatly together in one place.  (We started doing something similar with 
BLEND_STATE recently.)  That doesn't necessarily need to happen today, 
but I feel like this pushes us away from it.

I've even thought about splitting out the 3DSTATE_CONSTANT commands into 
a separate atom, so we don't need to re-upload the program if only 
uniforms change.  Not sure whether that's a good idea yet.

For now, I'd be much happier to see patches 21 and 22 replaced by a 
patch that emits 3DSTATE_GS in the current style with no reuse.  I'm 
ambivalent about patch 20.
