scalarDataTypes(3clc) get_work_dim ()

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this one is so simple it's iconic. get_work_dim() hands you back the value that was given to the work_dim argument, the one you specified when you called clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(3clc). That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

And if you got here through clEnqueueTask(3clc) instead? It returns one. Not "a number", not "approximately one" — literally one, no cap. 🌸
