// Just like std::function, FunctionView will wrap any callable and hide its
// actual type, exposing only its signature. But unlike std::function,
// FunctionView doesn't own its callable---it just points to it. Thus, it's a
// good choice mainly as a function argument when the callable argument will
// not be called again once the function has returned.
//
// Its constructors are implicit, so that callers won't have to convert lambdas
// and other callables to FunctionView<Blah(Blah, Blah)> explicitly. This is
// safe because FunctionView is only a reference to the real callable.
//
// Example use:
//
//   void SomeFunction(rtc::FunctionView<int(int)> index_transform);
//   ...
//   SomeFunction([](int i) { return 2 * i + 1; });
//
// Note: FunctionView is tiny (essentially just two pointers) and trivially
// copyable, so it's probably cheaper to pass it by value than by const
// reference.
