    // by 1 unit in eye space.  Note that eye space z is related in a nonlinear way to
    // screen space z, so this is not just a constant.

    //  computation, which is allowed to be vendor specific.

    // -- End depth bias helper section --------------------------------   

    // We now compute the depth of the fragment.  This is the actual depth value plus
    // our depth bias.  The depth bias depends on how uncertain we are about the z value
    // plus some constant push in the z direction.  The exact coefficients to use are
    // up to you, but at least it should be somewhat intuitive now what the tradeoffs are.
