<p>Class template <a class="link" href="function.html" title="Class template function">function</a> is a thin
wrapper around the numbered class templates <a class="link" href="functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">function0</a>, <a class="link" href="functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">function1</a>, etc. It accepts a
function type with N arguments and will will derive from
<a class="link" href="functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">functionN</a> instantiated with the arguments
it receives.</p>
<p>The semantics of all operations in class template
<a class="link" href="function.html" title="Class template function">function</a> are equivalent to that of the
underlying <a class="link" href="functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">functionN</a> object, although
additional member functions are required to allow proper copy
construction and copy assignment of function objects.</p>
