Description
Hi,
I'm trying to use the ofMaterial with drawInstanced. It would be nice to be able to extend the material. Right now everything is private and I have to copy and paste the whole code to provide another vertex shader.

Research direction
Start by locating the ofMaterial implementation and the drawInstanced entry point mentioned in the issue. Read how the material currently owns its shaders and identify the existing extension boundaries. Done means callers can provide an alternate vertex shader through an extendable material without copying the full ofMaterial implementation.
