/*!
 * The callable interface allows subclasses to export public methods,
 * but without actually exporting traditional library symbols.
 *
 * Callable handles the template magic so you don't have to:
 *  - registering subclass methods is simple and easy on the user.
 *  - users call registered methods with natural code aesthetics.
 *
 * Register a method (in the constructor of MyClass):
 * this->register_call("set_foo", &MyClass::set_foo);
 *
 * Call a method on a instance of MyClass:
 * my_class->x("set_foo", new_foo_val);
 *
 * Why x for the call method?
 *  - The "x" is short, one character of screen width.
 *  - The "x" looks like "*", which is commonly used.
 *  - The overloaded () operator sucks with pointers.
 *  - The overloaded () operator has template issues.
