+    Opaque Types as Struct Members
+    ------------------------------
+
+    Opaque struct members will be silently remapped to top-level variables, with
+    the original member removed from the structure's definition. The actual
+    behaviour depends on the source variable location. In the case of Default
+    Uniforms, all opaque members will be extracted into individual uniforms,
+    down to the last array level. If a struct containing opaque members is
+    passed as a function argument, new function parameters will be created for
+    opaque members. Variables created in such cases will be named in a way that
+    preserves existing access chains, most importantly in the case of Default
+    Uniforms, where reflection-based code needs to be able to locate the newly
+    created variables. For opaque members located under sized-arrays, one
+    variable will be created for each array element, for each array of the
+    access chain.
