So the question here is do we want to have a generic list of supported
features or more like a TODO list. if its the former, adding it would
be ok, if its the latter I'd think adding this (and the win32 exts are
for mesa also unlikely) extension to the list would be kind of
misleading.

If GL doesn't do it, lets leave it alone for vulkan.

I think that would be nice as some of the AMD/NV exts seem to be
implementable cross-vendor. Not a blocker though for adding this.
