/// This example creates a simple vertex buffer that contains a single triangle with custom vertex format. The most important

///
/// The second, but not least important is `#[repr(C)]` attribute - it is mandatory for every vertex type, it forbids fields
/// reordering of you vertex structure and guarantees that they will have the same layout in memory as their declaration order.
///
/// ## Limitations
///
/// Vertex size cannot be more than 256 bytes, this limitation shouldn't be a problem because almost every GPU supports up to
