There is an example on how to use it, in the example folder.

It should show you which callbacks are triggered, so you can place code 
of your own there.

Yes and no.

It needs some real refactor, and deprecating a method/property will 
allow people to change there code easily (if enough time is given before 
the final remove) => but as soon as stuff get's into the lfm, it gets 
way harder.
Though I have no idea, when, if ever, I get to that.
