// Callback --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// A Callback is like a Task but with unbound parameters. It is basically an
// object-oriented function pointer.
//
// Callbacks are designed to work with Tuples.  A set of helper functions and
// classes is provided to hide the Tuple details from the consumer.  Client
// code will generally work with the CallbackRunner base class, which merely
// provides a Run method and is returned by the New* functions. This allows
// users to not care which type of class implements the callback, only that it
// has a certain number and type of arguments.
//
// The implementation of this is done by CallbackImpl, which inherits
// CallbackStorage to store the data. This allows the storage of the data
// (requiring the class type T) to be hidden from users, who will want to call
// this regardless of the implementor's type T.
//
// Note that callbacks currently have no facility for cancelling or abandoning
// them. We currently handle this at a higher level for cases where this is
// necessary. The pointer in a callback must remain valid until the callback
// is made.
//
// Like Task, the callback executor is responsible for deleting the callback
// pointer once the callback has executed.
//
// Example client usage:
//   void Object::DoStuff(int, string);
//   Callback2<int, string>::Type* callback =
//       NewCallback(obj, &Object::DoStuff);
//   callback->Run(5, string("hello"));
//   delete callback;
// or, equivalently, using tuples directly:
//   CallbackRunner<Tuple2<int, string> >* callback =
//       NewCallback(obj, &Object::DoStuff);
//   callback->RunWithParams(MakeTuple(5, string("hello")));
//
// There is also a 0-args version that returns a value.  Example:
//   int Object::GetNextInt();
//   CallbackWithReturnValue<int>::Type* callback =
//       NewCallbackWithReturnValue(obj, &Object::GetNextInt);
//   int next_int = callback->Run();
//   delete callback;

// Base for all Callbacks that handles storage of the pointers.
