Research direction
Start with the GL-related resource example, Context, and inspect how finalizer cleaning and explicit freeing are currently handled. The issue names no files or tests; done would mean removing finalizer cleanup for the agreed GL-related resources, requiring explicit freeing, and deciding whether an unused-resource warning is included.
