+    This example shows how to use the new callback system. In the old system
+    Mbed's FunctionPointer[1] type was used to store abd make calls to callbacks.
+    However, that limits the callback function prototype to void func(void);
+    which means we cannot pass parameters.
+    
+    This latest version of MODSERIAL now uses its own callback object. This allows
+    the passing of a pointer to a class that holds information about the MODSERIAL
+    object making the callback. As of version 1.18 one critcal piece of information
+    is passed, a pointer to the MODSERIAL object. This allows callbacks to use the
+    MODSERIAL functions and data.
+        
+    Additionally, since MODSERIAL and the callback parameter class MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO
+    are friends, MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO can access the protected functions of MODSERIAL.
+    This is used to ensure functions that can only be called during a callback
+    can be invoked from a callback.
