Description
I want to suggest some things into one of extension for Vulkan API...
- Add new
VK_INDEX_TYPE_UINT8_EXT (= 2)type for index buffers (NVIDIA RTX can be supported it) - Add new
VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_QUAD_LIST_EXTtopology (if can be supported by hardware) - Merge barycentric support (from NV and AMD) into this extension, as any form of vertex extensions
- Add device properties extension for that extension's

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the Vulkan API specification's existing index-type, primitive-topology, barycentric, and device-properties extensions, then determine whether these requests belong in one extension. Done means the proposed scope and compatibility with existing Vulkan extensions are resolved and documented.
