Thanks for your comments.

I believed that the macro use was more obvious than the rescheduling
issue. I thaught that it was a way for modules to say "ok I'll do it
myself" (OVERRIDE) or "no one should do it" (CANCEL), as per the
comments in neberrors.h :

#define NEBERROR_CALLBACKOVERRIDE 206 /* module wants to
override default Nagios handling of event */
#define NEBERROR_CALLBACKCANCEL 207 /* module wants to cancel
callbacks to other modules */

And thus the fact that for checks, module has to care about
rescheduling is just implicit when using NEBERROR_CALLBACKOVERRIDE.

For event-handlers I think that the same logic holds, either the
module want to execute the event-handler itself or just cancel its
execution.
