   The vendor-neutral ray tracing acceleration emerges from the composition of several building blocks, such as VK_KHR_ray_query:

   You can guess from the number of contributors that standardization took considerable effort. The API must support a variety of use-cases, including hybrid rendering.

   Ray queries are the simplest of two available techniques, in which SPIRV shaders can cast arbitrary rays and get back a (distance sorted?) list of hits.
