In this case SceneManager comes from a 3rd party library, so I would just
have to have a free function sitting out there somewhere to wrap the
clearScene() call - not something I would prefer.  Also, clearing the scene
here means the destruction of dozens if not hundreds of resources (meshes,
textures, and so on) so whatever overhead bind may incur is going to be
trivial by comparison.  Given that, I think it's just easier on me and more
clear in the long run to go ahead and use bind.
