commands to be uniquely identified.
It consists of an ordered set of unsigned integers.

The name stack is always empty while the render mode is not GL_SELECT.
Calls to glInitNames while the render mode is not GL_SELECT are ignored.

is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of
glEnd.
