## Return a handle to the object whose callback is currently executing.
##
## If no callback is executing, this function returns the empty matrix.  This
## handle is obtained from the root object property @qcode{"CallbackObject"}.
##
## When called with a second output argument, return the handle of the figure
## containing the object whose callback is currently executing.  If no callback
## is executing the second output is also set to the empty matrix.
