       render mode is not GL_SELECT are ignored.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glLoadName is called while the name stack is empty.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glLoadName is executed between the execution of glBegin and  the
       corresponding execution of glEnd.
