+%% functions, a {become, Module, State} triple, or a {become, Module,
+%% State, Timeout} quadruple. This allows the gen_server to

+%% which will be passed into any of the callback functions in the new
+%% module. Note there is no form also encompassing a reply, thus if
+%% you wish to reply in handle_call/3 and change the callback module,
+%% you need to use gen_server2:reply/2 to issue the reply manually.
