// |Function<Signature>| is a wrapper that can hold any type of callable
// object that can be invoked in a way that's compatible with |Signature|.
// The standard "type erasure" technique is used to avoid the type of the
// wrapper depending on the concrete type of the wrapped callable.
//
// Supported callable types include non-member functions, static member
// functions, and function objects (that is to say, objects with an overloaded
// call operator; this includes C++11 lambdas). Member functions aren't
// directly supported; they first need to be wrapped into a function object
// using |std::mem_fn()| or an equivalent.
//
// |Signature| is a type of the form |ReturnType(Arguments...)|. Syntactically,
// this is a function type; it's not used in any way other than serving as a
// vehicle to encode the return and argument types into a single type.
//
// |Function| is default-constructible. A default-constructed instance is
// considered "empty". Invoking an empty instance is undefined behaviour.
// An empty instance can be populated with a callable by assigning to it.
//
// This class is intended to provide functionality similar to the C++11
// standard library class |std::function|.
