Description

On page 134 it is mentioned that a `Waker` has a manually implemented vtable (which functions similarly to the dynamic dispatch). I think a paragraph or an info box elaborating on why `Waker` has a vtable would be a beneficial addition to the book. With my limited knowledge I fail to see why a vtable is needed. Is static dispatch not possible?
