+Summary: Support for inverse p/i, emitting a vtable
+
+As a solution for unmanaged to managed calls .NET/the IL supports exporting
+static methods from an assembly for native unmanaged code.
+Since only some compiler support generating the correct IL (C++, Delphi)
+the current workaround to use this technique is to use ildasm, modifying
+the manifest and method declarations and assembling everything again.
+It would be nice if cecil would support emitting all the neccessary code so
+that a build-time tool could be created around it, natively exporting
+methods for the resulting assembly as neccessary.
+
