kinda stuck there. As it turns out you need to release any reference to the
stencil buffer before calling Reset(I can send a test for this if wanted), so I
see no way to check if the stencil buffer after the reset is still the old one
or a newly created one.
My guess would be it doesn't really matter if you do one or the other. Just
re-using the existing one is probably cheaper.
