diagramming out what I want to do here. CanvasFont will live with the buffers. Need to figure out how and where I'm going to query the font data for rendering

-Hello!
-
-Any of you guys use the Vulkano library? There is this PersistentDescriptorSetBuilder struct
-which uses this fun chaining dynamic
-
-```
-PersistentDescriptorSet::start(layout, 0)
-            .add_sampled_image(sampled_image1).unwrap()
-            .add_sampled_image(sampled_image2).unwrap()
-            .add_sampled_image(sampled_image3).unwrap()
-            .build().unwrap();
-```
-
-But it modifies the return values template values so I can't store it between loops
-
-```
-let mut set_builder = PersistentDescriptorSet::start(layout, 0);
-for image in images {
-    set_builder = set_builder.add_sampled_image(image);
-}
-let descriptor_set = set_builder.build().unwrap();
-```
-
-The gist of the error that I get is something like:
-
-```
-expected:
-PersistentDescriptorSetBuilder<Arc<GraphicsPipelineAbstract>, ()>
-got:
-PersistentDescriptorSetBuilder<Arc<GraphicsPipelineAbstract>, ((), PersistentDescriptorSetImg<Arc<ImmutableImage<Format>>>)>
-```
-
-So it's adding tuples of tuples of tuples of tuples of tuples each time I chain a
-.add_sampled_image() call. I really really want to be able to do this dynamically in
-a loop; I've tried this neat iter().fold() thinking that if I didn't explicitly
-overwrite the previous returned value, rust would figure it out. It didn't
-
-```
-let descriptor_set = images.iter().fold(
-    PersistentDescriptorSet::start(layout, 0)
-    ,|a, &b| a.add_image(b))
-    .unwrap()).build().unwrap();
-```
-
-How do I do this dynamically?
