So I guess this is also the reason for why e.g. Int32Array returns double
instead of int?
Also, would it be possible / make sense to make CanvasRenderingContext2D
and WebGLRenderingContext extend NativeObject?
Right now, as HTMLCanvasElement.getContext(String contextId) returns a
NativeObject I have to do things like this when getting the context:
context_ = (CanvasRenderingContext2D) (Object) canvas.getContext("2d")
It works but it feels wrong. Or am I just missing something obvious?
