From: Ian Romanick <ian.d.roman...@intel.com>

From page 14 (page 20 of the PDF) of the GLSL 1.10 spec:

    "In addition, all identifiers containing two consecutive underscores
     (__) are reserved as possible future keywords."

The intention is that names containing __ are reserved for internal use
by the implementation, and names prefixed with GL_ are reserved for use
by Khronos.  Names simply containing __ are dangerous to use, but should
be allowed.

Per the Khronos bug mentioned below, a future version of the GLSL
specification will clarify this.
