a workaround will be needed for the textures, maybe an accessor-pattern to hide the impl and desc set used. https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/issues/6498 https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/issues/5092

I see a certain ladder of features, and each should have their own branch (so I can merge in order without having all comments addressed): 1. having a `complex_t` struct...
