/**
* This extension adds Vulkan support for the {@code SPV_KHR_workgroup_memory_explicit_layout} SPIR-V extension, which allows shaders to explicitly define the layout of {@code Workgroup} storage class memory and create aliases between variables from that storage class in a compute shader.
*
* The aliasing feature allows different “{@code views}” on the same data, so the shader can bulk copy data from another storage class using one type (e.g. an array of large vectors), and then use the data with a more specific type. It also enables reducing the amount of workgroup memory consumed by allowing the shader to alias data whose lifetimes do not overlap.
*
* The explicit layout support and some form of aliasing is also required for layering OpenCL on top of Vulkan.
