afaiu this type of callbacks is common for rest- and rest-like APIs. in 
other rpc protocols like jsonrpc, asynchronous notifications are 
possible (i.e. not only client-server request-response, but more peer). 
binrpc has the explicit registered callbacks.

i think this makes it much more difficult to use because you can't use a 
standard client.
