Sorry a lot of the spam, but I somehow missed the "consistency" point. 
Sorry, but there seems to be no real consistency. Block I/O and network 
things generally use the token event method (what is suggested here), 
while USB, Bluetooth, and such generally pass a callback function 
directly (not necessarily what I suggest, as I don't know the full 
requirements, but certainly one way).

Best regards,
Marvin
