While trying to get texpresso to compile to SPIR-V I very early on encountered an error about a missing OpCapability Int8.
After some searching around I eventually found out how to fix this, but it would be nice if the error message could point users towards the right API, i.e. in this case SpirvBuilder.capability(spirv_builder::capability::Cap)

Research direction
Start by tracing the diagnostic for the missing OpCapability Int8 encountered while compiling texpresso to SPIR-V. Check how SpirvBuilder.capability(spirv_builder::capability::Cap) is exposed, and consider the issue done when the missing-capability error points users toward that API.
