+    This function returns a copy of the current texture which is removed
+    from its atlas.
+
+    The current texture remains unchanged, so texture coordinates do not
+    need to be updated.
+
+    Removing a texture from an atlas is primarily useful when passing
+    it to a shader that operates on the texture coordinates 0-1 instead
+    of the texture subrect inside the atlas.
+
+    If the texture is not part of a texture atlas, this function returns 0.
+
+    Implementations of this function are recommended to return the same instance
+    for multiple calls to limit memory usage.
