Comment (by dcavins):

 Now that I have an understanding of how the business parts of invitations
 could work, I was thinking about how to make it more like an API. The two
 approaches that came to mind were:
 * handling it like the `BP_Group_Extension` class or the `BP_Attachment`
 class with stub functions that new implementations should include to
 specify the behavior they need.

 {{{
 class BP_Invitations_API {
 public function send_invitation() {}
 public function verify_invitation() {}
 public function accept_invitation() {}
 ...
 }
 }}}

 * handling it more like the class `WP_Customize_Setting`, by declaring
 callbacks via some helper function, like

 {{{
 bp_register_invitation_set( array(
         'send_invitation'   => 'my_send_invitation_callback',
         'verify_invitation' => 'my_verify_invitation_callback',
         'accept_invitation' => 'my_accept_invitation_callback',
 ) );
 }}}


 Does BP have a preference for what style we'd like to use?
