//! rust dynamic dispatch is extremely limited so we have to build our
//! own vtable implementation. Otherwise implementing the event system would not be possible.
//! A nice bonus of this approach is that we can optimize the vtable a bit more. Normally
//! a dyn Trait fat pointer contains two pointers: A pointer to the data itself and a
//! pointer to a global (static) vtable entry which itself contains multiple other pointers
//! (the various functions of the trait, drop, size and align). That makes dynamic
//! dispatch pretty slow (double pointer indirections). However, we only have a single function
//! in the hook trait and don't need a drop implementation (event system is global anyway
//! and never dropped) so we can just store the entire vtable inline.
