// Main FunctionTypeTraits declaration, taking one template argument.
//
// Given a function type, FunctionTypeTraits will expose the following members:
// - ReturnType: Return type.
// - arity: Number of parameters (size_t).
// - ParameterType<N>: Type of the Nth** parameter, 0-indexed.
//
// ** `ParameterType<N>` with `N` >= `arity` is allowed and gives `void`.
// This prevents compilation errors when trying to access a type outside of the
// function's parameters, which is useful for parameters checks, e.g.:
//   template<typename F>
//   auto foo(F&&)
//    -> enable_if(FunctionTypeTraits<F>::arity == 1 &&
//                 is_same<FunctionTypeTraits<F>::template ParameterType<0>,
//                         int>::value,
//                 void)
//   {
//     // This function will only be enabled if `F` takes one `int`.
//     // Without the permissive ParameterType<any N>, it wouldn't even compile.
//
// Note: FunctionTypeTraits does not work with generic lambdas `[](auto&) {}`,
// because parameter types cannot be known until an actual invocation when types
// are inferred from the given arguments.
