// .NAME vtkEventForwarderCommand - a simple event forwarder command
// .SECTION Description
// Use vtkEventForwarderCommand to forward an event to a new object.
// This command will intercept the event, and use InvokeEvent
// on a 'target' as if that object was the one that invoked the event instead
// of the object this commmand was attached to using AddObserver.
// 
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkCommand

  // Description:
  // Satisfy the superclass API for callbacks. Recall that the caller is
  // the instance invoking the event; eid is the event id (see 
  // vtkCommand.h); and calldata is information sent when the callback
  // was invoked (e.g., progress value in the vtkCommand::ProgressEvent).
