Hi!

Thank you for your work on bringing egui to wgpu. Since I'm currently porting my game to egui and planing to use advance features (bindless) in the GUI path as well, I have to write my own backend sooner or later.

I have seen that you are currently naming this crate "egui_wgpu", but decided to use winit as a windowing platform. Could you maybe change the name of the crate to reflect that? Reasons is:

It's possible to provide a drawing backend for egui and a windowing / input platform for egui. Currently the provided crates don't distinguish them (because in case of glium / web this doesn't make much sense), but with wgpu you could use many platforms (winit, kapp, glium, web etc.). I'm not against the idea to provide library that bundles both the backend and the platform code into one convinient wrapper, but if we later have libraries that just provides a wgpu backend or a wninit platform or a kapp platform or even opengl3 backend, this could lead to confusion.

It would be nice to separate the windowing and graphics backends, just like how imgui provide separates its backends. This will allow people to mix and match different backends.
