+ * Memory hooks have two purposes:
+ * 1. To allow reads and writes to a region of memory to be intercepted. This is used to implement
+ *    texture forwarding and memory breakpoints for debugging.
+ * 2. To allow for the implementation of MMIO devices.
+ *
+ * A hook may be mapped to multiple regions of memory.
+ *
+ * If a boost::none or false is returned from a function, the read/write request is passed through
+ * to the underlying memory region.
