      The QIOSWindow implementation provides access to the EGL layer:

      CAEAGLLayer *QIOSWindow::eaglLayer() const
{
    Q_ASSERT([m_view.layer isKindOfClass:[CAEAGLLayer class]]);
    return static_cast<CAEAGLLayer *>(m_view.layer);
}

      It would be useful to also have access to the metal layer:

      CAMetalLLayer *QIOSWindow::metalLayer() const
{
    Q_ASSERT([m_view.layer isKindOfClass:[CAMetalLLayer class]]);
    return static_cast<CAMetalLLayer *>(m_view.layer);
}

      This is especially useful when using OpenGL-Metal wrapper libraries such as MetalAngle (https://github.com/kakashidinho/metalangle).
