So I though I might just for kicks code up a C++ version.  In doing so,
I realized that idomatically, this particular example would not really
use callbacks in real life, but rather stream objects.  Would look
nearly the same but be more idiomatic C++.

However, C++ function pointers are actually pretty slick in C++11. See
the example near the bottom of the page:

http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/function

Thus if we were to shoehorn your example into C++, the result would be
idiomatically very similar to what you have in your Python code.
