What else would be there? ("Method" as the column name is actually incorrect... they're just bare C functions.)

* Support distinction between compatibility and core profiles. As is, it looks like GL3 is compatibility and GL4 is core.
* For GL4, show the version which introduced the feature (e.g., GL4.2). For GL3 and earlier I don't care.
* Allow compatibility functions to be filtered out entirely. I don't want glLightModel() or other old fixed-function stuff cluttering up the screen.
* GLSL 3.
* Minor cheat sheet showing differences between, say, GLSL 120, 330, and 4x0. For example, 120 has "attribute" and "varying", while 330 has "in" and "out".
I recommend that everyone use the compiler to help avoid functions and constants from later versions of OpenGL, if you are targeting old versions. For example, if you are targeting 3.3, then you can either use a header file that only defines 3.3, or you can use a header file that puts functions and constants in a namespace (e.g. "using namespace gl_3_3;").

I find term "function" rather confusing and improper for programming language construct, because we use the same term in natural languages that is not necessarily 1:1 mapping. Consider commit message: "Implemented function `sort()` implementing sort(ing) function(ality)".
Now, that makes probably no sense; can someone clarify what these versions mean (apart from API availability described by this table, obviously), and if there's a relationship to the WebGL subset (it is a subset, right?).
As a complete newcomer to OpenGL, my first thought was "where's the WebGL column?" Now, that makes probably no sense; can someone clarify what these versions mean (apart from API availability described by this table, obviously), and if there's a relationship to the WebGL subset (it is a subset, right?).

I think we should start to transition to using the word function only in the connotation provided in functional programming languages, where functions are first class citizens and can be treated as values. Also, should probably prefer to imply a lack of side effects from the word function.
Method is clearly a certain function or procedure that is scoped to a class. So that leaves procedure as a name left over for the type of bare function that isn't a value, that is a statement rather than an expression.
I think subroutine and subprogram are just archaic sounding, and don't really imply anything that the others don't. Method, functions, procedures, I think that's all we need.

Anyway, thanks!
