Code review comment for lp://qastaging/~afrantzis/mir/buffer-native-type

And, having said all that :) The approaches aren't all that different... and although I guess I'd prefer the bikeshed in the other color... ^_^

With the casting approach, I'd still prefer:

mg::NativeBufferBase* mg::Buffer::native_buffer_base()

that we can then cast to TextureBindable, as it doesn't force all mg::Buffer implementations to inherit from some sort of binding interface, and lets us separate the implementation of the buffers in the platform.

Hmm, what sort of review is that... I guess the above part was just rambling, then a 'needs fixing' just on the return type, which is a smaller change, and would give more flexibility in the structure of the platform Buffer objects.

There's also a bit of a 'needs info' about the plan for mg::Buffer::write, read, gl_bind_to_texture, as those seem redundant on mg::Buffer after the new plan now.
