Intrinsic frame

Intrinsic frame templates are similar to virtual XML templates. Intrinsics also support defining script handlers to be called before/after the normal handler.

• The attribute becomes the new tag name in XML or the frame type in.
• Specifying the attribute means the handler is called before the normal script handler.
• Specifying the attribute means the handler is called after the normal script handler.
• Intrinsic scripts cannot be removed after being defined.
• They can be returned from GetScript and hooked with HookScript with /.

• GetObjectType returns the intrinsic's type, not the intrinsic's name e.g. == "Frame", not "MyFrame".
• It is not possible to declare an intrinsic based on another intrinsic.
• For intrinsic frame templates when the attribute is not specified it will default to "precall".
