//  function class
//
//      Lazy functions
//
//      This class provides a mechanism for lazily evaluating functions.
//      Syntactically, a lazy function looks like an ordinary C/C++
//      function. The function call looks the same. However, unlike
//      ordinary functions, the actual function execution is deferred.
//      (see actor.hpp, primitives.hpp and composite.hpp for an
//      overview). For example here are sample factorial function calls:
//
//          factorial(4)
//          factorial(arg1)
//          factorial(arg1 * 6)
//
//      These functions are automatically lazily bound unlike ordinary
//      function pointers or functor objects that need to be explicitly
//      bound through the bind function (see binders.hpp).
//
//      A lazy function works in conjunction with a user defined functor
//      (as usual with a member operator()). Only special forms of
//      functor objects are allowed. This is required to enable true
//      polymorphism (STL style monomorphic functors and function
//      pointers can still be used through the bind facility in
//      binders.hpp).
//
//      This special functor is expected to have a nested template class
//      result<A...TN> (where N is the number of arguments of its
//      member operator()). The nested template class result should have
//      a typedef 'type' that reflects the return type of its member
//      operator(). This is essentially a type computer that answers the
//      metaprogramming question "Given arguments of type A...TN, what
//      will be the operator()'s return type?".
//
//      There is a special case for functors that accept no arguments.
//      Such nullary functors are only required to define a typedef
//      result_type that reflects the return type of its operator().
//
//      Here's an example of a simple functor that computes the
//      factorial of a number:
//
//          struct factorial_impl {
//
//              template <typename Arg>
//              struct result { typedef Arg type; };
//
//              template <typename Arg>
//              Arg operator()(Arg n) const
//              { return (n <= 0) ? 1 : n * this->operator()(n-1); }
//          };
//
//      As can be seen, the functor can be polymorphic. Its arguments
//      and return type are not fixed to a particular type. The example
//      above for example, can handle any type as long as it can carry
//      out the required operations (i.e. <=, * and -).
//
//      We can now declare and instantiate a lazy 'factorial' function:
//
//          function<factorial_impl> factorial;
//
//      Invoking a lazy function 'factorial' does not immediately
//      execute the functor factorial_impl. Instead, a composite (see
//      composite.hpp) object is created and returned to the caller.
//      Example:
//
//          factorial(arg1)
//
//      does nothing more than return a composite. A second function
//      call will invoke the actual factorial function. Example:
//
//          int i = 4;
//          cout << factorial(arg1)(i);
//
//      will print out "24".
//
//      Take note that in certain cases (e.g. for functors with state),
//      an instance may be passed on to the constructor. Example:
//
//          function<factorial_impl> factorial(ftor);
//
//      where ftor is an instance of factorial_impl (this is not
//      necessary in this case since factorial is a simple stateless
//      functor). Take care though when using functors with state
//      because the functors are taken in by value. It is best to keep
//      the data manipulated by a functor outside the functor itself and
//      keep a reference to this data inside the functor. Also, it is
//      best to keep functors as small as possible.
//
