Note that this can be somewhat tricky. For example, most Linux drivers
report versions like "1.4 (Mesa 2.1)" - first is GLX, followed by OpenGL.

What about non-core functions? Things like ARB, EXT, etc.

GLE should be called by GLFW? I don't think that's such a good idea.

The other way round: have GLE call glfwGetAddress to simplify things. Note
that this should work even if the context was *not* created through GLFW.
