+When referencing procs in RegisterSignal, Callback and other procs you should use PROC_REF, TYPE_PROC_REF and GLOBAL_PROC_REF macros. 
 They ensure compilation fails if the reffered to procs change names or get removed.
 The macro to be used depends on how the proc you're in relates to the proc you want to use:

+Note that the same rules go for verbs too! We have VERB_REF() and TYPE_VERB_REF() as you need it in these same cases. GLOBAL_VERB_REF() isn't a thing however, as verbs are not global.
