   5 // This defines helpful methods for dealing with Callbacks.  Because Callbacks
   6 // are implemented using templates, with a class per callback signature, adding
   7 // methods to Callback<> itself is unattractive (lots of extra code gets
   8 // generated).  Instead, consider adding methods here.
   9 //
  10 // ResetAndReturn(&cb) is like cb.Reset() but allows executing a callback (via a
  11 // copy) after the original callback is Reset().  This can be handy if Run()
  12 // reads/writes the variable holding the Callback.
