Research direction
Start with the goblin::pe::import::SyntheticImportDirectoryEntry struct and trace how import_address_table is populated for Windows PE files. Compare the reported value with the distinction between the Import Address Table and Import Name Table; done means the struct exposes the correct IAT information and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
