How deep can TD go into the core of IL2? Just read this post? Is it possible?

After reading the following post, I had one of those.....NO WAY!!!! moments!

I realise that TD can do many things, but is this at-all possible? I mean, it would be a superb addition to IL2 if it is?

The post:

"There won't be any core changes without the source code. All of the mods you see in 1946 are just changes to java class files, which are out of the SFS archives and a few of the more core/important ones are muddled by the compiler and some simply can't be resolved, at least this is the way I see it meaning that all changes will be on the surface and nothing more. That and whatever DLL's they are able to open properly as is the case with carsmasters graphics mods. Like they said, we could have self shadowing in IL-2 as it's supported by the OpenGL engine it uses but without the source files this isn't a possibility.

Really? Is it a future option and are you able to get in that deep to add this feature?
