this one is scary

the reason we dont have it right now is that its not easy to implement it in a foolproof way

windows recreates gd vtables macos and ios recreates every vtable android recreates vtables too i think im not exactly sure about android

but what this means is that there are multiple vtables for a single class we cant possibly find addresses for every single one of them and patch every single one of them

thats the main issue we have right now

if we decide to compromise on lets say only hooking the vtable inside gd we need to explicitly specify it in docs and let people know of the side effects of that behavior (there are a shit ton and they are not intuitive at all)

this also requires exposing the handler in tuliphook directly but thats the easy part

one of the big side effects is that this table hooking will not affect superclasses :D

anyway ramble over this might possibly spill to v5
