In python 3 (and pyopengl 3.1.1a1), this works:

    gl.platform.PLATFORM.getExtensionProcedure(b"glGenBuffers")

but this fails, returning None:

    gl.platform.PLATFORM.getExtensionProcedure("glGenBuffers")

on any platform. The difference being the bytes vs str in the argument.

This is a corner case to be sure because I'm trying to support some very
old legacy OpenGL implementations (OpenGL 2.1 because wxPython on Windows),
but maybe this will save someone else, oh, I don't know, like 8 or 10 hours
debugging... :)
