There is way to simulate callback functions by using the Object.Call() 
function, which can call any method in any object by name. But it is slower 
than a direct call.

An intermediate solution is when you can agree on the function name. Then you 
can use inheritance, i.e. you change the class, but keep the same method name, 
and make all these class inherit the same parent class.
