The file :file:`example/example5.cpp` contains a complete example that
demonstrates how to work with callbacks and anonymous functions in more detail.
.. warning::
Keep in mind that passing a function from C++ to Python (or vice versa)
will instantiate a piece of wrapper code that translates function
invocations between the two languages. Copying the same function back and

to accumulate, which can decrease performance.
