What is the new feature?
Allows modders to make drastic changes to the tML assembly (or other mods assemblies), beyond what MonoMod's IL Hooks and Method Detours provide.
More detail and original idea can be read at #2393 .
Why should this be part of tModLoader?
There are some limitations of IL Editing and Detours that cannot be solved without direct modification of assemblies, notably in the form of adding/removing fields/types/etc. from the assembly.
Are there alternative designs?
There are many possible implementations, with discussion being done in the tML discord.
