+ * For non-vulkan backends, to maintain compatibility and maximize

+ *
+ * The GFX layer assumes the binding numbers for each descriptor type inside each set
+ * are guaranteed to be consecutive, so the mapping procedure is reduced
+ * to a simple shifting operation. This data structure specifies the
