It's not quite as simple because some structs are input in one chain but 
output in another. Like all the feature structs, which you use to query 
the available features but also to enable them on device creation.
Generally everything in a const void* pNext chain is input and 
everything in a void* pNext chain is output, but 
VkPipelineCreationFeedbackCreateInfo is the exception to that rule.
