The MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() function finally has a high-level wrapper that constructs a Retained protocol object for us.

Note also that a new MTLAllocation interface was added to Metal. Even if that interface is optional, current objc2 design requires this trait to be part of the hierarchy (and the feature explicitly enabled) to get access to all "descendant" interfaces (MTLResource, which provides MTLBuffer and MTLTexture). There are upstream plans to see if this can be simplified: madsmtm/objc2#663.
