Actually within ENet there is undocumented callback that get triggered when a
reliable packet was succesfully received. Logically speaking,
ENet must know the packet has been received properly, otherwise ENet will
resend the packet (that is requirement for reliable packets).

With either referenceCount or freeCallback, how are you differentiating
disconnection from acknowledge?

I don't. It happens that I haven't encountered a situation where I care though,
so I didn't think about it :-).

I've not needed it myself, since if it's delivered, the protocol continues, and
if it's not delivered, well,

I have a toy chat application where I can send data to several recipients. I
use it to log the fact that all recipients did receive the text I sent. Nothing
critical.

Yes you are right, I didn't check the code. Well then it means I can change my
binding to use this instead of maintaining a list of packets for acknowledgment
notification. (this packet callback didn't exist when I implemented this
feature).
