I would be inclined to say those applications are abusing the system,
and we shouldn't be enabling that. On the other hand, if NVIDIA is
generally fine with applications/vendors doing this kind of thing, is
there any point in distinguishing between NV and NVX extensions at
all? I.e., in that case, we might as well just get rid of the code
skipping NVX extensions, because their API is effectively going to be
frozen the moment a non-zero number of applications use them.
