Umm.  This snippet of code means that the callback can't to much
except return or print a string depending on the value of the second
argument, doesn't it?

So why not either make it explicit and just put a char* field there,
or make a more generic callback that replaces write() (or so) and
gets a chance to mangle the output in any way it likes?
