* CallbackBridge allows you to chain callbacks.
*
* CallbackBridge keeps a pointer to BaseCallback.
* When its operator() is called, it passes this pointer
* along with the actual data (of type \) to the method
* of \ class.
*
* This is needed when you have to call a callback only
* when your own callback is called. So, your callback
* is "inner" and the other one is "outer".
*
* CallbackBridge implements the "inner" one and calls
* the method you wanted. It passes the "outer", so you
* can call it from your method. You can ignore it, but
* probably there is no point in using CallbackBridge then.
*
* So, if you receive a BaseCallback callback
* and you want to call it from your MyClass::myMethod method,
* you should create CallbackBridge,
* where \ is the data type you want to receive in MyClass::myMethod.
*
* You can create it in the following way:
* new Callback(
* pointerToMyClassObject,
* &MyClass::myMethod,
* outerCallback
* )
* where `outerCallback` is BaseCallback and `myMethod` is:
* void MyClass::myMethod(BaseCallback *, AnotherClass)
