The same problem applies to al_set_shader_matrix.

Since there are a limited number of elements per vector, it would
be faster to use fixed sized arrays in the GLSL_DEFERRED_SET structure
(use a union to reduce the size) instead of allocating per set.

But, I'd also like to know why there are deferred sets.

Also, why are the al_set_shader_*_array functions are different?
They are not deferred for the GLSL backend, and not implemented (but
return success anyway) for the HLSL backend.
