/// A transform to be used by the MSL backend which will:
/// * Replace `vec3<T>` types with an internal `__packed_vec3` type when they are used in
///   host-shareable address spaces.
/// * Wrap generated `__packed_vec3` types in a structure when they are used in arrays, so that we
///   ensure that the array has the correct element stride.
/// * Multi-version structures that contain `vec3<T>` types when they are used in host-shareable
///   memory, to avoid modifying uses in other address spaces.
/// * Rewrite matrix types that have three rows into arrays of column vectors.
/// * Insert calls to helper functions to convert expressions that use these types to or from the
///   regular vec3 types when accessing host-shareable memory.
/// * Cast all direct (not sub-accessed) loads of these packed vectors to the 'unpacked' vec3<T>
///   type before usage.
///
/// This transform is necessary in order to emit vec3 types with the correct size (so that scalars
/// can follow them in structures), and also to ensure that padding bytes are preserved when writing
/// to a vec3, an array of vec3 elements, or a matrix with vec3 column type.
///
/// @note Depends on the following transforms to have been run first:
