It's not a simplification. It introduces compile time checking
where there was none, for one side of the interface.
Mentally translating between al_tex <-> ALLEGRO_SHADER_VAR_TEX
is trivial, I think.
We could also just have the raw names correspond exactly with
the macro names if it doesn't make shader sources unreadable,
i.e. #define ALLEGRO_SHADER_VAR_TEX "ALLEGRO_SHADER_VAR_TEX"
