I plan on pushing it tomorrow.

I think this is especially true of the BindBufferBase/Range code.
If the buffer bindings were stored as arrays of a generic
gl_buffer_binding_point struct in gl_context, I think it should be
possible for a single function to handle all buffer targets.

The error messages are a bit more complex though, because in one
case you have an array of objects, and in the other a single object.
