//
// In C++11, std::forward would replace all uses of this function. However, it

// of rvalue references.

// In addition to Callback/Bind, this is used by PostTaskAndReplyWithResult to

// parameter to another callback. This is to support Callbacks that return
// the movable-but-not-copyable types whitelisted above.
