 // HOW THE IMPLEMENTATION WORKS:
 //
 // There are three main components to the system:
 //   1) The Callback classes.
 //   2) The Bind() functions.
 //   3) The arguments wrappers (eg., Unretained() and ConstRef()).
 //
 // The Callback classes represent a generic function pointer. Internally,
 // it stores a refcounted piece of state that represents the target function
 // and all its bound parameters.  Each Callback specialization has a templated
-// constructor that takes an BindStateHolder<> object.  In the context of
-// the constructor, the static type of this BindStateHolder<> object
-// uniquely identifies the function it is representing, all its bound
-// parameters, and a DoInvoke() that is capable of invoking the target.

+// the static type of this BindState<> pointer uniquely identifies the
+// function it is representing, all its bound parameters, and a Run() method
+// that is capable of invoking the target.
 //
-// Callback's constructor is takes the BindStateHolder<> that has the
-// full static type and erases the target function type, and the bound
-// parameters.  It does this by storing a pointer to the specific DoInvoke()
-// function, and upcasting the state of BindStateHolder<> to a
-// BindStateBase. This is safe as long as this BindStateBase pointer
-// is only used with the stored DoInvoke() pointer.

Done.
