Hmm I guess the return type of the sampler_view decl was intended for
something along these lines (it's a d3d10-ism but not really used right
now, and it is per channel too). If you make some return type in sampler
this is thus not very nice as now you've got it both in sampler and
sampler_view. Not sure what a good solution of that would be...
