 So in the above example, we have a declared a callback named "one" that will
 eventually hold a function pointer.  The signature of the function that it will
 hold must return double and must support two double arguments.  If one tries 
-to pass a function whose signature does not match the declared callback, the

 Now, we need to tie together this callback instance and the actual target function
 (CbOne).  Notice above that CbOne has the same function signature types as the
