 * Helper for using member functions as dispatch methods. The 3-level structure
 * is due to default template parameter not being allowed on functions yet.
 * Conceptually, this helper takes two parameters: the name of the member
 * variable pointing to the dispatch table and the name of the member function
 * to call on dispatch. With these two parameters, it creates a dispatch
 * method. When called, this free function forwards the call to the member
 * function.
 * Pseudo-syntax for getting a dispatch method:
 * <code>&amp;EventListenerFactory&lt; _, DispatchPointerName &gt;::create&lt; _, MemberFunctionName &gt;::function</code>
 * See the start of the spawnarea.cpp file for a complete example.
