    Returns the compare mode of the Sampler.  This is a feature typically only used for shadow
    mapping.  Using a sampler with a compare mode requires it to be declared in a shader as a
    `samplerShadow` instead of a `sampler` variable, and used with a texture that has a depth
    format.  The result of sampling a depth texture with a shadow sampler is a number between 0 and
    1, indicating the percentage of sampled pixels that passed the comparison.
