Configures the render pass as suspending.

## Declaration

```swift
static var suspending: MTL4RenderEncoderOptions { get }

## Discussion

Discussion Pass this option to makeRenderCommandEncoder(descriptor:options:) to specify that Metal can stitch the work a render command encoder encodes with a subsequent “resuming” render command encoder.
