/**
 * \ingroup callback
 * \brief Callback template class
 *
 * This class template implements the Functor Design Pattern.
 * It is used to declare the type of a Callback:
 *  - the first non-optional template argument represents
 *    the return type of the callback.
 *  - the remaining (optional) template arguments represent
 *    the type of the subsequent arguments to the callback.
 *
 * Callback instances are built with the \ref MakeCallback
 * template functions. Callback instances have POD semantics:
 * the memory they allocate is managed automatically, without
 * user intervention which allows you to pass around Callback
 * instances by value.
 *
 * Sample code which shows how to use this class template
 * as well as the function templates \ref MakeCallback :
 * \include src/core/examples/main-callback.cc
 *
 * \internal
 * This code was originally written based on the techniques
 * described in http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/TTLFunction.asp
 * It was subsequently rewritten to follow the architecture
 * outlined in "Modern C++ Design" by Andrei Alexandrescu in
 * chapter 5, "Generalized Functors".
 *
 * This code uses:
 *   - default template parameters to saves users from having to
 *     specify empty parameters when the number of parameters
 *     is smaller than the maximum supported number
 *   - the pimpl idiom: the Callback class is passed around by
 *     value and delegates the crux of the work to its pimpl
 *     pointer.
 *   - a reference list implementation to implement the Callback's
 *     value semantics.
 *
 * This code most notably departs from the alexandrescu
 * implementation in that it does not use type lists to specify
 * and pass around the types of the callback arguments.
 * Of course, it also does not use copy-destruction semantics
 * and relies on a reference list rather than autoPtr to hold
 * the pointer.
 *
 * \see attribute_Callback
 *
 * \tparam R \explicit The return type of the Callback.
 * \tparam UArgs \explicit The types of any arguments to the Callback.
