/**
 *# Callback Datums
 *A datum that holds a proc to be called on another object, used to track proccalls to other objects
 *
 * ## USAGE
 *
 * ```
 * var/datum/callback/C = new(object|null, /proc/type/path|"procstring", arg1, arg2, ... argn)
 * var/timerid = addtimer(C, time, timertype)
 * you can also use the compiler define shorthand
 * var/timerid = addtimer(CALLBACK(object|null, /proc/type/path|procstring, arg1, arg2, ... argn), time, timertype)
 * ```
 *
 * Note: proc strings can only be given for datum proc calls, global procs must be proc paths
 *
 * Also proc strings are strongly advised against because they don't compile error if the proc stops existing
 *
 * In some cases you can provide a shortform of the procname, see the proc typepath shortcuts documentation below
 *
 * ## INVOKING THE CALLBACK
 *`var/result = C.Invoke(args, to, add)` additional args are added after the ones given when the callback was created
 *
 * `var/result = C.InvokeAsync(args, to, add)` Asyncronous - returns . on the first sleep then continues on in the background
 * after the sleep/block ends, otherwise operates normally.
 *
 * ## PROC TYPEPATH SHORTCUTS
 * (these operate on paths, not types, so to these shortcuts, datum is NOT a parent of atom, etc...)
 *
 * ### global proc while in another global proc:
 * .procname
 *
 * `CALLBACK(GLOBAL_PROC, GLOBAL_PROC_REF(some_proc_here))`
 *
 * ### proc defined on current(src) object (when in a /proc/ and not an override) OR overridden at src or any of it's parents:
 * .procname
 *
 * `CALLBACK(src, PROC_REF(some_proc_here))`
 *
 * ### when the above doesn't apply:
 * PROC_REF(procname)
 *
 * `CALLBACK(src, PROC_REF(some_proc_here))`
 *
 * ### proc defined on a parent of a some type
 *
 * `CALLBACK(src, TYPE_PROC_REF(/some/type, some_proc_here))`
 *
 * Otherwise you must always provide the full typepath of the proc (/type/of/thing/proc/procname)
