Notes

autoUnload r marks resource r to be automatically unloaded shortly after all references to it go out of scope. This only works for certain resource types: currently Image, Texture, Font, Wave, Music, Sound, AudioStream, RenderTexture, and Shader. Mesh, Material, Model, etc. pass themselves around as arguments and create extra internal references inside Raylib that we can't easily track, so for now, those are not supported by autoUnload. Unsupported arguments will return an error value. You can always manually unload a resource (even if you've called autoUnload on it).
