This is mainly just another case of "this is the only way of probing we
support right now". In the future when we add more fine-grained behavior here,
we can stop passing helpers explicitly and only pass them when the appropriate
trait methods are defined.

Not totally sure what you mean by this? get_modes_callback() is just the
automatically generated vtable function, which gets generated based off the
rust trait implementation. but I can rename it if you think we should.
