   Can you elaborate on "dependency injection" for "callback"?  It would be   
   nice if a small example be presented in a popular language such as Lisp   
   or Python.   
      
   Looking the term up, it seems sufficiently different from "callback".   
      
   (This is a genuine request for information.  I never understood why we   
   need the term "dependency injection".
