I don't know what glad is doing. What I do know is that if you have an 
alias like this:

alias CullFace = void function(tGL.Enum);

This is type alias, saying variables of type CullFace will be pointers 
to functions that return void, and take tGL.Enum type.

If you attempt to "call" a type, then I don't think it works, you need a 
variable of that type to call it. I think this is why you see such 
strange errors.

It's possible a loader will fill in the details. I don't know.
