= Backcall
  Ari Lerner

== DESCRIPTION:
  
  * Backcall, Ari Lerner, Citrusbyte (http://blog.citrusbyte.com) - Simply add super lightweight, memory-efficient before and after callbacks.

== Basics

  Simply require backcall
    require 'backcall'
  
  And include callbacks in your classes
    include Backcall::Callbacks in your class
    
  Then you can call before or after on any method, for instance:
  
  class TestCallbacks  
    before :world, :hello
    after :world, :thanks
    def hello(caller)
      string << "hello "
    end
    def world
      string << "world"
    end
    def thanks(caller)
      string << ", thank you"
    end
  end
  
  TestCallbacks.new.world 
  => "hello world, thank you"
  
  You can write callbacks currently in the following forms:
  
  * before :world, :hello, :hi, :you
  * before :world do 
      puts "hello "
    end
  * before :world, {:hello => "OutsideClass"}
  * before :world, {:hello => OutsideClass}
  
  Note on the last two:
  If you call the last style with a string, it expects the OutsideClass 
  If you call the last one, your class with create a method that calls new on the class that you send to it, It will keep
