/*
The HW shader generators have a number of predefined variables (inputs and uniforms) with binding rules.
When these are used by a shader the application must bind them to the expected data. The following table is
a listing of the variables with a description of what data they should be bound to.

However, different renderers can have different requirements on naming conventions for these variables.
In order to facilitate this the generators will use token substitution for naming the variables. The
first colum below shows the token names that should be used in source code before the token substitution
is done. The second row shows the real identifier names that will be used by default after substitution.
An generator can override these identifier names in order to use a custom naming convention for these.
Overriding identifier names is done by changing the entries in the identifiers map given to the function
replaceIdentifiers(), which is handling the token substitution on a shader stage.
