    /** @defgroup FunctionWrap Function Wrapper
     * A general-purpose static-polymorphic function wrapper via [jau::function<R(A...)>](@ref function_def).
     *
     * @anchor function_overview
     * ### Function Overview
     * Similar to std::function, [jau::function<R(A...)>](@ref function_def) stores any callable target function
     * solely described by its return type `R` and arguments types `A...` from any source,
     * e.g. free functions, capturing and non-capturing lambda function, member functions.
     *
     * [jau::function<R(A...)>](@ref function_def) supports equality operations for all func::target_type source types,
     * allowing to manage container of [jau::function](@ref function_def)s, see [limitations](@ref function_limitations) below.
     *
     * If a [jau::function](@ref function_def) contains no target, see jau::function<R(A...)>::is_null(), it is empty.
     * Invoking the target of an empty [jau::function](@ref function_def) is a no-operation and has no side effects.
     *
     * [jau::function](@ref function_def) satisfies the requirements of CopyConstructible, CopyAssignable, MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable.
     *
     * Compared to `std::function<R(A...)>`, `jau::function<R(A...)>`
     * - exposes the target function signature [jau::type_info](@ref type_info) via jau::function::signature()
     * - supports equality operations
     * - supports [Y combinator and deducing this lambda functions](@ref ylambda_target)
     * - self contained low memory, cache friendly, static polymorphic target function [delegate_t<R, A...>](@ref delegate_class) storage,
     *   see [implementation details](@ref function_impl)
     * - most operations are `noexcept`, except for the user given function invocation
     *
     * Instances of [jau::function](@ref function_def) can store, copy, move and invoke any of its callable targets
     * - free functions
     *   - factory bind_free()
     *     - includes non-capturing lambda
     *   - constructor [jau::function<R(A...)>::function(R(*func)(A...))](@ref function_ctor_free)
     * - member functions
     *   - factory bind_member()
     *   - constructor [`function(C *base, R(C::*mfunc)(A...))`](@ref function_ctor_member)
     * - lambda functions
     *   - capturing and non-capturing lambdas as jau::function using func::lambda_target_t
     *   - constructor [`template<typename L> function(L func)`](@ref function_ctor_lambda)
     *   - see [limitations on their equality operator w/o RTTI on `gcc`](@ref function_limitations).
     * - [Y combinator and deducing this lambda functions](@ref ylambda_target)
     *   - factory [bind_ylambda()](@ref function_bind_ylambda)
     * - lambda alike functions using a captured data type by-reference
     *   - factory bind_capref()
     *   - constructor [function(I* data_ptr, R(*func)(I*, A...))](@ref function_ctor_capref)
     * - lambda alike functions using a captured data type by value
     *   - factory bind_capval()
     *   - constructor copy [function(const I& data, R(*func)(I&, A...))](@ref function_ctor_capval_copy)
     *   - constructor move [function(I&& data, R(*func)(I&, A...))](@ref function_ctor_capval_move)
     * - std::function
     *   - factory bind_std()
     *   - constructor [function(uint64_t id, std::function<R(A...)> func)](@ref function_ctor_std)
     *
     * @anchor function_impl
     * #### Implementation Details
     *
     * `jau::function<R(A...)>` holds the static polymorphic target function [delegate_t<R, A...>](@ref delegate_class),<br />
     *  which itself completely holds up to 32 bytes sized `TriviallyCopyable` target function objects to avoiding cache misses.
     *
     *  The following table shows the full memory footprint of the target function [delegate_t<R, A...>](@ref delegate_class) storage,<br />
     *  which equals to `jau::function<R(A...)>` memory size as it only contains the instance of delegate_t<R, A...>.
     *
     *  | Type           | Signature                    | Target Function Size    | `%delegate_t<R, A...>` Size | Heap Size | Total Size | `TriviallyCopyable` |

     *  | lambda_plain   | function<lambda, int (int)>  | 32                      | 40                          |  0        | 40         | true                |
     *  | lambda_ref     | function<lambda, int (int)>  | 32                      | 40                          |  0        | 40         | true                |

     *  | capval (big)   | function<capval, int (int)>  | 48                      | 40                          | 48        | 88         | true                |

     *
     * Memory sizes are in bytes, data collected on a GNU/Linux arm64 system.
     *
     * The detailed memory footprint can queried at runtime, see implementation of [jau::function<R(A...)>::function::toString()](@ref function_toString).
     *
     * Static polymorphism is achieved by constructing the delegate_t<R, A...> instance via their func::target_type specific factories, see mapping at func::target_type.
     *
     * For example the static func::member_target_t::delegate constructs its specific delegate_t<R, A...> by passing its data and required functions
     * to func::delegate_t<R, A...>::make.<br />
     * The latter is an overloaded template for trivial and non-trivial types and decides which memory is being used,
     * e.g. the internal 32 bytes memory cache or heap if not fitting.
     *
     * To support lambda identity for the equality operator, [jau::type_info](@ref type_info) is being used either with *Runtime Type Information* (RTTI) if enabled
     * or using *Compile time type information* (CTTI), see [limitations](@ref function_limitations) below.
     *

         *
         * @anchor ylambda_target  The [Y combinator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator#Strict_functional_implementation)
         * allows passing the unnamed lambda instance itself, enabling recursive invocation from within the lambda. <br />
         * In other words, a `this` reference of the unnamed lambda is passed to the lambda, similar to [`Deducing this`](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p0847r7.html).
         *
         * The ylambda [function<R(A...)>](@ref function_def) is invoked w/o explicitly passing the object parameter,
         * as it is implicitly passed down to the user's lambda implementation.
         *

         *

         *           return x * self(x-1); // recursion, calling itself w/o explicitly passing `self`
         *       }
         *   } );
         *   assert( 24 == f1(4) ); // `self` is bound to delegate<R(A...)> `f.target`, `x` is 4
         *
         *   // or using explicit function<R(A...)>::delegate_type
         *
         *   function<int(int)> f2 = function<int(int)>::bind_ylambda( [](function<int(int)>::delegate_type& self, int x) -> int {
         *       if( 0 == x ) {
         *           return 1;
         *       } else {
         *           return x * self(x-1); // recursion, calling itself w/o explicitly passing `self`
