 * the next draw's.
 *

 * DrawOrder aggregates the three separate sequences that Graphite uses to re-order draws and their

 *
 * To build the full DrawOrder for a draw, start with its assigned PaintersDepth (i.e. the original
 * painter's order of the draw call). From there, the DrawOrder can be updated to reflect
 * dependencies on previous draws, either from depth-only clip draws or because the draw is
 * transparent and must blend with the previous color values. Lastly, once the
 * CompressedPaintersOrder is finalized, the DrawOrder can be updated to reflect whether or not
 * the draw will involve the stencil buffer--and if so, specify the disjoint stencil set it
 * belongs to.
 *
 * The original and effective order that draws are executed in is defined by the PaintersDepth.
 * However, the actual execution order is defined by first the CompressedPaintersOrder and then
 * the DisjointStencilIndex. This means that draws with much higher depths can be executed earlier
 * if painter's order compression allows for it.
