There was a problem hiding this comment.
I made this function return a boolean regardless, so when wgpu's implementation is updated to return a bool, it can be updated here as well without breaking the ABI.

Quite useful when rendering to an off-screen buffer.
I would also like to extend the wgpu API to report whether a graphics debugger capture is available (and, if not, return a string indicating the reason, similar to
RenderDoc::NotAvailable) and whether it's currently active, as it's currently up to the library's consumer to track; both RenderDoc and Metal expose such APIs, so it should be pretty straightforward to implement. Please let me know what you think.
