Description
These functions are undefined:
- love.load
- love.quit
- love.errorhandler
- love.lowmemory
- love.threaderror
- love.keyreleased
- love.textedited
- love.textinput
- other
mouse,joystickandtouchrelated...
I really don't understand why the api has all these aliases, but in vscode these functions appear as undefined 🤷.
Maybe @alias is a wrong way to define class fields or is the total number of possible class fields limited?
For some reason, some of them show up, but most do not!

Research direction
Start by inspecting meta/3rd/love2d/library/love.lua and compare its aliases with the listed LÖVE callbacks that appear undefined in VS Code. Reproduce the missing suggestions for callbacks such as love.load, love.quit, and love.textinput, then trace how those definitions are exposed. Done means the listed callback functions are no longer reported as undefined.
