#1192: [RFE] Redesign Parrot NCI callback functionality

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
This is a migration of RT #50360; original text follows:
Parrot's NCI callback subsystem design will not work (and cannot be
directly extended) for callbacks that do not carry an opaque user data
pointer. Many existing callback-based APIs do not fit this description,
including certain GUI toolkits such as GLUT.
Allison and others have brainstormed a few possible ideas, but none was
fleshed out to the point of being implementable. The following threads on
the parrot-porters mailing list covered part of this:

Also, I've attached some IRC discussion of this (slightly edited as per
participant's request).
