Now that the full bindless mode has been stripped (#710), I would like to open up this issue so that we can all get on the same page and see if we can support the Traverse use case as well. I'd like to inquire about near-term steps forward when it comes to bindless.

• What are the plans for the equivalent of bindless ByteAddressBuffers going forward?
• What is the current trajectory for specifying bindings as globals in rust-gpu?

In the remove code there was a bunch of stuff supporting the equivalent of ByteAddressBuffer/RWByteAddressBuffer (meaning, no the buffer type gets decided in Load and multiple datastructures can be loaded from the same buffer at same / different offsets).

If there are no plans for this near term, could we look at reverting the code-removal while we get a plan together? Currently we'll have to straddle behind releases or fork the project which is really unfortunate.

まず、issue #710 での bindless-mode の削除と、Load を通じたバッファー読み込みの残りのサポートを確認します。要求されている ByteAddressBuffer/RWByteAddressBuffer の動作を、グローバルバインディングに対する現在のアプローチと比較します。Traverse のユースケースについて、合意された短期的な方向性または実装計画が定まれば完了です。ここではファイルもテストも指定しません。
