The basic problem was that the front-end was generating code that used a `uint` vector for the coordinates, while GLSL requires an `int` vector.
Without support for implicit type conversions, this leads to GLSL compilation failure.
The fix here is to insert the type conversion as late as possible (during GLSL emit). This isn't a pretty solution, but it is the easiest one to implement in the current compiler.
A more forward-looking approach would be to support "force inline" functions in the stdlib, so that we can implement the conversion logic in a stdlib implementation specialized for the Vulkan/GLSL target.
At the moment, everything to do with image atomics is all sleight of hand anyway, so making it incrementally messier isn't a bit hit.
