This doc link has a problem:
http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.1/common.html#4_9

The gray box that recommends how to setup callbacks is wrong;
it should be revised as follows:

------
  class foo {
- void my_callback(Widget *);
+ void my_callback(Fl_Widget *);
- static void my_static_callback(Widget *w, foo *f) { f->my_callback(w); }
+ static void my_static_callback(Fl_Widget *w, void *f) { ((foo*)f)->my_callback(w); }
  ...
  }
  ...
- w->callback(my_static_callback, this);
+ w->callback(my_static_callback, (void*)this);
----------

Note changes not only for Widget -> Fl_Widget,
but also changes from "foo *f" to "void *f",
and "f->" to "((foo*)f)->"

Also, not required but IMHO it would be clearer if all references
to 'foo' were changed to 'Foo'.
