    // Note: There is an important policy decision being made here that we need
    // to approach carefully.
    //
    // We are doing two different things that affect the layout of a program:
    //
    // 1. We are *composing* one or more pieces of code (notably the shared global/module
    //    stuff and the per-entry-point stuff).
    //
    // 2. We are *specializing* code that includes generic/existential parameters
    //    to concrete types/values.
    //
    // We need to decide the relative *order* of these two steps, because of how it impacts
    // layout. The layout for `specialize(compose(A,B), X, Y)` is potentially different
    // form that of `compose(specialize(A,X), specialize(B,Y))`, even when both are
    // semantically equivalent programs.
    //
    // Right now we are using the first option: we are first generating a full composition
    // of all the code we plan to use (global scope plus all entry points), and then
    // specializing it to the concatenated specialization arguments for all of that.
    //
    // In some cases, though, this model isn't appropriate. For example, when dealing with
    // ray-tracing shaders and local root signatures, we really want the parameters of each
    // entry point (actually, each entry-point *group*) to be allocated distinct storage,
    // which really means we want to compute something like:
    //
    //      SpecializedGlobals = specialize(compose(ModuleA, ModuleB, ...), X, Y, ...)
    //
    //      SpecializedEP1 = compose(SpecializedGlobals, specialize(EntryPoint1, T, U, ...))
    //      SpecializedEP2 = compose(SpecializedGlobals, specialize(EntryPoint2, A, B, ...))
    //
    // Note how in this case all entry points agree on the layout for the shared/common
    // parameters, but their layouts are also independent of one another.
    //
    // Furthermore, in this example, loading another entry point into the system would not
    // require re-computing the layouts (or generated kernel code) for any of the entry points
    // that had already been loaded (in contrast to a compose-then-specialize approach).
