/// 'uniform' and 'workgroup' address space, and passing of pointers to sub-objects. These pointers
/// are only allowed by the resolver when the `chromium_experimental_full_ptr_parameters` extension
/// is enabled.
///
/// DirectVariableAccess works by creating specializations of functions that have pointer
/// parameters, one specialization for each pointer argument's unique access chain 'shape' from a
/// unique variable. Calls to specialized functions are transformed so that the pointer arguments
/// are replaced with an array of access-chain indicies, and if the pointer is in the 'function' or
/// 'private' address space, also with a pointer to the root object. For more information, see the
/// comments in src/tint/ast/transform/direct_variable_access.cc.
