Comment:

 I recently ran into a situation where I needed to make some extensive
 customizations to the `WP_Media_List_Table` class and the filters it
 provided was not enough. So I'm hoping I can bring life back to this
 ticket with a patch that would help us all out.

 It adds the filter `'pre_get_list_table'` to `_get_list_table()`. It
 allows a developer to check what class was requested, and return an object
 of a different class if needed.
