Description
Being able to have a version run using the native "Metal" API on macOS/iOS would be extremely helpful, as I'm migrating [my tool](https://8th-dev.com/) from using the JUCE library, and I would greatly prefer to not rely on "glfw".
If someone has already done something along these lines, please inform me; Google didn't turn up anything useful.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Nuklear's single-header architecture and the existing GLFW-related backend context, then determine the scope of a native Metal backend for macOS and iOS. Done means the project can run through Metal without relying on GLFW, with platform-specific behavior and validation documented.
