No, to be clear that was not a variation to the callback technique. One
way is simply to passing the callback as a special variable (and there
are more ways.)
The rest of your long email hints that you've misunderstood what this
change to Eldoc is accomplishing. I'm afraid I've done all I can to
explain it, including docstrings, NEWS entries, commit messages and
going through your previous very long code review. I understand you
expected a futures library would come with this change, but it does not,
not for now. I've explained that is only a technique, but in this last
email you conflate every issue with it again. My position is: if there
really is value in them, futures will soon be in Emacs. Let's follow
Stefan advice, it's good advice. I might even work a bit on futures
myself.
Best,
João
