  /// @brief Handles the interaction between pointers and vector, matrix types.
  ///
  /// This extension defines an overloaded function, glm::value_ptr, which
  /// takes any of the \ref core_template "core template types". It returns
  /// a pointer to the memory layout of the object. Matrix types store their values
  /// in column-major order.
  /// 
  /// This is useful for uploading data to matrices or copying data to buffer objects.
  ///
  /// Example:
  /// @code
  /// #include <glm/glm.hpp>
  /// #include <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp>
  ///
  /// glm::vec3 aVector(3);
  /// glm::mat4 someMatrix(1.0);
  ///
  /// glUniform3fv(uniformLoc, 1, glm::value_ptr(aVector));
  /// glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformMatrixLoc, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(someMatrix));
  /// @endcode
  ///
  /// <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp> need to be included to use these functionalities.
