[ENH]: allow passing a function to CallbackRegistry.disconnect #23306
Description
Problem
Currently to disconnect a callback in a callback registry you need to keep track of the connection id. It'd be easier to use if you could instead just pass the function to disconnect.
Proposed solution
Allow for the following:
reg = CallbackRegistry()
def f1():
pass
cid = reg.connect("something", f1)
reg.disconnect_func("something", f1)
# above is equivalent to reg.disconnect(cid)Reacted by Antony Lee, hannah and Tim Hoffmann
