// operator to create a rvalue version of the type.  The supported types are
// whitelisted below as overloads of the CallbackForward() function. The
// default template compiles out to be a no-op.
//
// In C++11, std::forward would replace all uses of this function.  However, it
// is impossible to implement a general std::forward with C++11 due to a lack
// of rvalue references.
//
// In addition to Callback/Bind, this is used by PostTaskAndReplyWithResult to
// simulate std::forward() and forward the result of one Callback as a
// parameter to another callback. This is to support Callbacks that return
// the movable-but-not-copyable types whitelisted above.
