Yes, I am intending to do so; the current OpenGL is 4.3 -- the current problem that I'm considering is how to address open-gl's "objects" enumerations (lights, textures, etc.)
Typing/subtyping is an excellent way to handle these, given I can specify it as a range; i.e. Subtype Light_Number is Enum Range GL_Light0 .. GL_Light0+MAX_LIGHTS.
The current [re-]design problem I'm considering involves this exact problem; the number of lights is determined at runtime [unless I decide to use the specification minimums]... which means passing runtime-queried parameters into generic-packages.
