There's no example, there's no definition of what the callback function signature is.

They are just completely unhelpful

Also no history, category or see also sections.

Comments:

Having an example of the proper function signature is extremely important. Due to CF's automatic conversion of data types, implementing the wrong logic rarely causes a hard error. The function simply won't work correctly and there is absolutely no indication to the developer *why* it does not work as expected - or how to fix it.
