Description
This is parallel to #2111 and the issue that resolved it, #2244. I understand we have `VULKAN_HPP_DISPATCH_LOADER_DYNAMIC_TYPE` and `VULKAN_HPP_DISPATCH_LOADER_STATIC_TYPE`, but there needs to be a way to make these names reachable but not visible, that is, users should be able to access their member functions with `auto someptr = VULKAN_HPP_DISPATCH_LOADER_DYNAMIC_TYPE.memberFunc();` but should _not_ be able to directly access _anything_ in the `vk::detail` namespace (as they are part of the implementation _detail_ of Vulkan-Hpp)...

Research direction
Read the context in issues #2111 and #2244, then inspect the declarations controlled by VULKAN_HPP_DISPATCH_LOADER_DYNAMIC_TYPE and VULKAN_HPP_DISPATCH_LOADER_STATIC_TYPE. The change is complete when module users can call the dispatch-loader member functions while direct access to names in vk::detail is not visible.
