I played around a bit to figure out how we can get rid of this:
daxpedda@3740148
Mostly inspired by
upcast
.I'm warming up to the VTable idea, but I couldn't find any documentation on how stable this is, so I'm unsure what the proposal around this was exactly.

vtable is only for completely out of tree stuff, for regular staff you don't need vtables, since users will have
Option<dyn Handler>
and you can justif let
it. But function pointers are completely safe and stable, there's nothing wrong with them and they are all completely safe code.it's just in the current state of things I decided with vtable, since it won't affect other APIs and for entirely platform specific staff I'd use this approach unless we have separate crates.
We can have
-> Option<&mut dyn MacOSApplicationHandler>
from theApplicationHandler
itself already, and it's vtable free.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Yeah okay, I was thinking of totally different things.
I would like to avoid having to use
register_x()
entirely. That is possible by unsafely reading the VTable and figuring out at runtime if a trait is implemented for a certain type.
