    // Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
    typedef enum VkMicromapTypeEXT {
        VK_MICROMAP_TYPE_OPACITY_MICROMAP_EXT = 0,
    #ifdef VK_ENABLE_BETA_EXTENSIONS
      // Provided by VK_NV_displacement_micromap
        VK_MICROMAP_TYPE_DISPLACEMENT_MICROMAP_NV = 1000397000,
    #endif
    } VkMicromapTypeEXT;

## Description
