So, this allows virtual methods take
Gd<Self>
as a receiver. It also implements this as a special case for exactly one method, that beingMultiplayerApiExtension::poll
. This is useful because we want to call rpc functions out of poll and if that function calls back to any multiplayer function (which most rpc functions do, even if it's justis_server
or to get the remote peer) then we get double bind exceptions. This way, the implementer can unbind, call, rebind to avoid that.Not sure if this is a sensible way to allow this or if there are any other places it would be useful. It's a pretty breaking change for a pretty niche problem but it's working well for me.
