	/// The purpose of callbacks is simply explained with an analogy out of
	/// browser-javascript land: it is window.onload.addEventListener() in lieu
	/// of assigning window.onload = function(). This is a list of multiple
	/// callbacks listening for invocation. The listener is responsible for
	/// both adding and removing itself using the std list interface.
	///
	/// The template provides an option for whether exceptions should propagate
	/// to the caller. If they propagate, all listeners after the exception won't
	/// be invoked.
