+How does that work?
+
+The shader analyser determines which descriptors are used by each shader and outputs a struct
+that describes this stuff. This struct implements `PipelineLayoutDesc`.
+
+When shaders are grouped together in the pipeline, they are passed through `CompatiblePipeline`
+to be merged into a single pipeline layout struct. If the descriptors of the various shaders
+are incompatible, it is detected at that moment.
+
+The single struct that represents the layout is stored as a template parameter of the pipeline.
+It is also stored in the `PipelineLayout` object (which wraps around vulkan's pipeline layout).
+When you draw, you have to pass a collection of descriptor sets that are compatible with the
+pipeline layout desc of the pipeline.
