Why does MatcherBase class in gtest-matchers.h from googletest define a VTable, and what is its purpose? I speculate that it implements a mechanism similar to a virtual function table, but why not just use virtual functions directly?

I tried to searching and ask some LLMs, but I didn’t get good answers. I’d like to get professional answers from C++ experts. Thank you!
