By using std::function rather than function pointers, users can invoke
more complex callback functions such as non-static methods via the use of std::bind.
This is a backwards compatible change as function pointers coerce into std::functions. I've verfied as much by compiling and running an existing project and it works without any modifications.
I have not updated any documentation as it doesn't explicitly say "function pointer" which would now be wrong, just "function" which could mean std::function.
