/**
 * This is a special class object that holds all the information returned by a
 * particular GSG to indicate the geom's internal context identifier.
 *
 * Geoms typically have an immediate-mode and a retained-mode operation.  When
 * using geoms in retained-mode (in response to Geom::prepare()), the GSG will
 * create some internal handle for the geom and store it here.  The geom
 * stores all of these handles internally.
 *
 * In the case of OpenGL, for example, a GeomContext corresponds to a display
 * list identifier.
