"Prefer VS for Point/Line Expansion"

Hi! What does "Prefer VS for Point/Line Expansion" do? (I know this concerns things called "vertex shaders".) Are there any problems when using it?

What about performances too?

Thanks!

Details about this will be in the upcoming Progress Report!

To give you a bit of an early explanation, it is mainly for Metal and MoltenVK that cannot emulate point-size and line-width with Geometry Shaders. If you are on Windows you don't need to worry about it. Go ahead and try it if you like though, performance should be similar.
