Project Updates

@khyperia: Was on vacation, most time spent debugging ark, doing code review.
@eddyb: ptr::{read, write} now works. At least for copying a single value.

• This is last on rust-gpu to make Range's iterator to be usable in SPIR-V.
• Still requires changes upstream, as it is using a optimisation but can't work for SPIR-V.
• Locally for loops are now working. Once the upstream changes are fixed we will have for loops.
• Range coming soon.

@Jasper-Bekkers: Continuing working on bindless support.

MCPs:

#483

Generally everyone's in favour of trying out GitHub Discussions on the repo.

#486

In favour of making the parameters required, and having a compile error when missing, and in favour of changing the syntax to something shorter, but still want something that's obvious for readers.
