+ // An entity (module, core) can register a function that will be called
+ // when an action is executed on a set of targets. The pre callback is
+ // called before any recipes for the action are matched and the post --
+ // after all have been executed. The post callback is called even if
+ // execution has failed.
+ //
+ // The callback should only be registered during the load phase. Note
+ // that it's registered for the inner action, meaning that it will be
+ // called for any outer action (which is discernible from the first
+ // argument of the callback). Note also that meta-operations other than
+ // perform never actually execute any recipes and it probably only makes
+ // sense to register these callbacks for the perform_* actions.
+ //
+ // Note that the callbacks will also be called when building a build
+ // system module or an ad hoc C++ recipe. See create_module_context() for
+ // details.
