I think it is a backend, with implementation files. If you are
including files from either one then I am afraid you may have to write
conditional code depending on the backend you are using. We are not
guaranteeing all files in OpenGL are in OpenGL2, and the painter
headers were moved into OpenGL and will likely never see counterparts
in the OpenGL2 backend. We should codify some of this in our
documentation to make it clear.
