 		[CallbackTweener] is used to call a method in a tweening sequence. See [method Tween.tween_callback] for more usage information.
+		The tweener will finish automatically if the callback's target object is freed.
 		[b]Note:[/b] [method Tween.tween_callback] is the only correct way to create [CallbackTweener]. Any [CallbackTweener] created manually will not function correctly.
