// Declared only so it can be partially specialized
template <class Signature>
class cFunctionRef;

/** A light-weight, type-erased reference to a function object.

### Usage

`cFunctionRef` is used whenever you call a normal function with a lambda. e.g.
one of the `cWorld::DoWith` functions,

	m_World->DoWithChunkAt(BlockPos, [](cChunk & a_Chunk) -> bool
		{
			...
		}
	);

It looks like you're calling it with a lambda but that would require
`DoWithChunkAt` to be a template. The function is really being called with
`cFunctionRef<bool(cChunk&)>` which is constructed from the lambda via a
templated constructor. This gives you a generic pointer to the lambda which
doesn't depend on the type of the function object it references.

### Notes

- This is similar to a `std::function` but doesn't copy the function object.
This means that mutable function objects will be modified for the caller but
would not be if using a `std::function` (See #3990 for implications of this).

- A `cFunctionRef` has no empty state but is non-owning and so is safe to call as
long as the referred object is still alive. */
