It's true that the generalized solution for varying callback signatures
doesn't exist yet, but it's easy enough to create your own C callback
layer, with a separate C function for each callback you need. (Note, not
one-per-signature, but one-per-callback.) The callback functions can
invoke a Parrot sub that they lookup by name, register a callback sub
with the concurrency scheduler, or simply directly perform the actions
needed.
