Perhaps I forget the discussion but why do we need `binding_array` instead of using the existing `array` for this feature?

There is also the additional concern here, perhaps making this unimplementable on Metal, that bind groups could not be set during render bundle encoding when `inheritBuffers=YES`. Doing so results in...

So how this would work with Metal ICBs is something like this: Make a vertex or compute shader like: ``` struct ICBContainer { command_buffer commandBuffer; }; [[vertex]] void rewriteBindGroups(device ICBContainer...

Indeed this is a WebKit bug, it is fixed with https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276722 which can be verified in the next build or two of Safari Technology preview as the issue reproduces on...

Yes it should be resolved in Safari Technology Preview 202 and later
