In some ways, yes. I think the main point behind
5fb9bcdd148ed728d90a420f209cdfcc03af24ac was to make
vkd3d_string_buffer_init() never fail though, and by extension things
like vkd3d_shader_message_context_init(). I'm fine with either
variant, but would prefer not switching it back and forth every couple
of months.
