I'm just looking at it. Disabling getEntity by default works nicely, if
anyone figures out how to do it correctly (or just has a kluge that
works well enough, as I did) they can override and enable the callback.

Putting my pedant's hat on for a minute I'd mention that the comments
say you must overload the callback, but this should be "override".
Overloading refers to reusing the name for a function with a different
signature, but to override a virtual you must be definition have exactly
the same signature (covariant returns excepted).
I've submitted a patch so I can sleep soundly at night.  ;-)

I'll update my source at home and submit a new patch if it's complete
enough, then it can be included or not as you see fit.
