It's fairly important that you try and make your effort as independant
of DerivedMesh's interface and API as possible.  It's ok to recode the
drawing functions within DerivedMesh, but adding new interfaces or
modifying the DerivedMesh api in any way should be avoided.  The idea
being that if you do this, your code will be easily ported to the new
mesh infrastructure.

I think it'd make sense to have this be a separate API from
DerivedMesh.  Something that any piece of draw code can make use of.
