# This example illustrates implicit and explicit callbacks via plain
# coderefs. Coderef callbacks are clear and concise. They allow
# developers to take advantage of closure tricks, including
# implementing a form of continuation-passing style.
#
# They are less suitable for object-oriented programs. See most other
# forms of Reflex::Callback for more object oriented callbacks.
# Reflex::Callbacks and the Reflex::Callback helper classes will
# abstract callbacks to fulfill the following goals:
#
# 1. A module's consumer decides how it will be called back.
# 2. Module implementations will use a single interface that
# represents the abstract notion of callbacks. Consumers' chosen
# callback implementations will handle the rest.
# 3. Every known form of callback will be supported, so that module
# consumers aren't limited to a single, possibly undesirable
# callback mechanism.
# 4. Common callback mechanisms may be specified by concise,
# contextual syntax.
# 5. All callback mechanisms may be specified by slightly verbose but
# unambiguous syntax.
# Ideally all the eg-*-rcb-*.pl examples will use the identical
# ThingWithCallbacks. That class will have no custom callback logic
# at all.
