#### prohibitDirectCallback

_Prevents the World contract from calling itself._
_Prevents the World contract from calling itself.
If the World is able to call itself via `delegatecall` from a system, the system would have root access to context like internal tables, causing a potential vulnerability.
Ideally this should not happen because all operations to internal tables happen as internal library calls, and all calls to root systems happen as a `delegatecall` to the system.
However, since this is an important invariant, we make it explicit by reverting if `msg.sender` is `address(this)` in all `World` methods._
