*
* These functor templates work this way so that you can simply and easily allow
* for these class methods to be overridden from within a module, e.g. have a module
- * which completely replaces the code for IsNick, etc. This is a very powerful feature
- * which should be considered 'advanced' and not for beginners. If you do not
- * understand these templates, STAY AWAY from playing with this until you do, as if
- * you get this wrong, this can generate some pretty long winded and confusing error
- * messages at compile time.

+ * someclass->MyFunction = &replaceme;

+ * After this point, calls to someclass->MyFunction will call the new code in your
