/// \file
/// This file provides a collection of function (or more generally, callable)
/// type erasure utilities supplementing those provided by the standard library
/// in `<function>`.
///
/// It provides `unique_function`, which works like `std::function` but supports
/// move-only callable objects and const-qualification.
///
/// Future plans:
/// - Add a `function` that provides ref-qualified support, which doesn't work
///   with `std::function`.
/// - Provide support for specifying multiple signatures to type erase callable
///   objects with an overload set, such as those produced by generic lambdas.
/// - Expand to include a copyable utility that directly replaces std::function
///   but brings the above improvements.
///
/// Note that LLVM's utilities are greatly simplified by not supporting
/// allocators.
///
/// If the standard library ever begins to provide comparable facilities we can
/// consider switching to those.
