In my simple case it would have been even nicer if the

Would that be a reasonable feature request? I am asking before
registering as I am such a callback newbie.
I think that is a nice idea. That would force the user to implement
those methods and not forget that they were switched on in the model.
Unfortunately there is no simple way to achieve the reverse: disabling
them in the model and forgetting to remove the code from the
application: unless we used a @Callback annotation to mark the
appropriate methods. Something like:
@Documented
@Inherited
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface CallBack { }
I'm not 100% sure that would work out, but I thought I'd throw it in
there with your idea. I'm not sure how you'd then use this to give
some warning at compile time or runtime if the callback was not
enabled in the model.
