Perhaps it would help if I explained the way that I'm reasoning about
things a bit better.

In the first case (above), if compareOp is ALWAYS then the stencil test
will never fail so the failOp doesn't matter.  We can set it to KEEP or
whatever else we like but KEEP is the most convenient.

The second case is a bit more complicated.  Here we're looking at the
stencil+depth pass op.  In order for this to trigger, both the depth and
the stencil test have to pass.  If either compare function is NEVER then at
least one of them will always fail and we'll never trigger the passOp.

In the third case, depthFailOp gets taken if stencil passes but depth
fails.  Again, if compareOp == NEVER or depthCompareOp == ALWAYS, then this
case cannot happen and depthFailOp doesn't matter.

Does that make sense?  It's not so much about figuring out which of the
stencil ops get taken as it is about figuring out which ones don't matter
because the corresponding depth and stencil test results cannot happen.
Then, you take the ones that do matter and look at the stencil ops.  If any
of the stencil ops that *can* happen aren't KEEP, then we write stencil.
