Ok, the C API is interesting and necessary because we need to code 
efficiently in the core of 3D object in certain case.

This bring in my head the comparison with NSBezierPath, we need low and 
high level API to draw geometry : in certain case I use the 
NSBezierPath method to draw Quartz elements and in othe cases I need to 
go down the CG... functions.
