Two of the most common applications of callbacks is registering
listeners for various types of GUI events (mouse moved, window
resized, button pressed) and creating handlers for SAX events when
processing XML. More generally, in my HL7 code I often use a simple
form of syntax directed translation (You see this in a message, you
do that.) There's always the alternative of "the big switch", but it
has it's own problems. How would you handle these cases?
