The thing about documentation is: it should be helpful ;)

You probably want to note that you create the callback so that you can pass it
to JavaScript functions and let them call your C++ code. You can also note that
the callback will get v8::Arguments as parameter - and that it can retrieve the
JsEngine instance from these using the FromArguments() method. And pointing to
NewCallback() in the FromArguments() documentation isn't wrong either of course
- this method will work *only* for callbacks created this way.
