//
// A note on naming: Since all effects run in the same GLSL namespace,
// you can't use any name you want for global variables (e.g. uniforms).
// The framework assigns a prefix to you which will be unique for each
// effect instance; use the macro PREFIX() around your identifiers to
// automatically prepend that prefix.

        //     be more expensive than going to a memory intermediate.

        //     expansion, to happen pre-filtering instead of post-filtering.
