I define a callback as something that is called from a template that 
adds new data to the current environment.  What you're describing is a 
callback to me.

I think it's more accurate to say it would be useful for certain pieces 
of data which are trivial to fetch, like a list of months.

That isn't the problem.  Separation between the controller and view is 
where I saw the trouble with callbacks.

But as I said before, it's a moot point with something as trivial as a 
list of months.
