namespace kj {

template <typename Signature>
class Function;
// Function wrapper using virtual-based polymorphism.  Use this when template polymorphism is
// not possible.  You can, for example, accept a Function as a parameter:
//
//     void setFilter(Function<bool(const Widget&)> filter);
//
// The caller of `setFilter()` may then pass any callable object as the parameter.  The callable
// object does not have to have the exact signature specified, just one that is "compatible" --
// i.e. the return type is covariant and the parameters are contravariant.
//
// Unlike `std::function`, `kj::Function`s are movable but not copyable, just like `kj::Own`.  This
// is to avoid unexpected heap allocation or slow atomic reference counting.
//
// When a `Function` is constructed from an lvalue, it captures only a reference to the value.
// When constructed from an rvalue, it invokes the value's move constructor.  So, for example:
//
//     struct AddN {
//       int n;
//       int operator(int i) { return i + n; }
//     }
//
//     Function<int(int, int)> f1 = AddN{2};
//     // f1 owns an instance of AddN.  It may safely be moved out
//     // of the local scope.
//
//     AddN adder(2);
//     Function<int(int, int)> f2 = adder;
//     // f2 contains a reference to `adder`.  Thus, it becomes invalid
//     // when `adder` goes out-of-scope.
//
//     AddN adder2(2);
//     Function<int(int, int)> f3 = kj::mv(adder2);
//     // f3 owns an insatnce of AddN moved from `adder2`.  f3 may safely
//     // be moved out of the local scope.
//
// Additionally, a Function may be bound to a class method using KJ_BIND_METHOD(object, methodName).
// For example:
//
//     class Printer {
//     public:
//       void print(int i);
//       void print(kj::StringPtr s);
//     };
//
//     Printer p;
//
//     Function<void(uint)> intPrinter = KJ_BIND_METHOD(p, print);
//     // Will call Printer::print(int).
//
//     Function<void(const char*)> strPrinter = KJ_BIND_METHOD(p, print);
//     // Will call Printer::print(kj::StringPtr).
//
// Notice how KJ_BIND_METHOD is able to figure out which overload to use depending on the kind of
// Function it is binding to.
