>> The init function queries the driver for the total number of queue family indices,
>> allocates an array of that amount for each structure, and reads the properties
>> into the array.
>> API users then index into the array based on the queue family index.
>> API users cannot index outside of the array ever, as the queue family index
>> they receive is always AVVulkanDeviceContext.queue_family_index (or the
>> transfer, compute, encode, or decode queue family index member of that structure).
>> The queue family index members of that structure are checked upon initialization
>> to not be larger than what the driver returns.
>>
>> Hence, there's no need for them to know how large the array is, as
>> it is allocated for all possible indices.

> That's way too much indirection and way too much code that has to make

> If nothing else, it will be very helpful for the person debugging the
