I don't know about Doug, but *I* sure reguard callbacks as both tangled
control structures and unstructured braches.  In fact, they seem to be
very closely related to the "altered goto" which seem to be held in more
or less universal contempt.  Mind you, I'm not saying they aren't USEFUL,
just that they're very hard to follow!
