I am perhaps missing the point. In my view, if you want to simulate
multiple callbacks with just one, you can create the FunPtr in the
callback registration, and keep it into a closure you give back to
unregister the callback. Of course, the multiple callback is just an
interface, and toolkits wich support multiple callbacks natively will
not go trough this mess.

What do toolkits think about this? :) What toolkits implement one
callback, and what multiple ones?
