Note | In situations where an application wishes to select all access types for a given set of pipeline stages, `VK_ACCESS_2_MEMORY_READ_BIT` or `VK_ACCESS_2_MEMORY_WRITE_BIT` can be used. This is particularly useful when specifying stages that only have a single access type.

Note | The `VkAccessFlags2` bitmask goes beyond the 31 individual bit flags allowable within a C99 enum, which is how VkAccessFlagBits is defined. The first 31 values are common to both, and are interchangeable.
