## Description

This extension gives defined behavior to fragment depth values which end up outside the conventional [0, 1] range. It can be used to ensure portability in edge cases of features like depthBias. The particular behavior is chosen to match OpenGL to aid porting or emulation.

## Promotion to `VK_KHR_depth_clamp_zero_one`

All functionality in this extension is included in `VK_KHR_depth_clamp_zero_one`, with the suffix change to KHR. The original type, enum, and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

## New Structures

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceDepthClampZeroOneFeaturesEXT

## New Enum Constants

- `VK_EXT_DEPTH_CLAMP_ZERO_ONE_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_EXT_DEPTH_CLAMP_ZERO_ONE_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DEPTH_CLAMP_ZERO_ONE_FEATURES_EXT
