Description

Wupget handler interfaces under the same name have different signatures depending on `handler = true`, and anytime anybody has a problem it ALWAYS, EVERY TIME turns out to be `handler = true`. Design some alternative and put it in basecontent, then persuade major games to use it because that's where people copypaste from.
