    @brief Definition of orxonox::Functor and its specialized subclasses, as well as the createFunctor() functions.

    @anchor FunctorExample

    Functors can be used to wrap function-pointers. While function-pointers have a very
    complicated syntax in C++, Functors are always the same and you can call the wrapped
    function-pointer independently of its parameter with arguments of type MultiType. These
    arguments are then automatically converted to the right type.

    To create a Functor, the helper function createFunctor() is used. It returns an instance
    of orxonox::FunctorPtr which is simply a typedef of "std::shared_ptr<Functor>". This
    means you don't have to delete the Functor after using it, because it is managed
    by the std::shared_ptr.

    Example:
    @code
    int myStaticFunction(int value)                         // Definition of a static function
    {
        return (value * 2);                                 // Return the double of the value
    }

    FunctorPtr functor = createFunctor(&myStaticFunction);  // Create a Functor

    int result = (*functor)(5);                             // Calls the functor with value = 5, result == 10

    int result = (*functor)("7");                           // Calls the functor with a string which is converted to an integer, result == 14
    @endcode

    Functors can also be used if you work with member-functions. In this case createFunctor()
    returns an instance of orxonox::FunctorMemberPtr - this allows you to define the object
    that will be used to call the function.

    Example:
    @code
    class MyClass                                                   // Define a class
    {
        public:
            MyClass(const std::string& text)                        // Constructor
            {
                this->text_ = text;
            }

            bool contains(const std::string& word)                  // Function that searches for "word" in "text"
            {
                return (this->text_.find(word) != std::string::npos);
            }

        private:
            std::string text_;                                      // Member variable
    };

    MyClass* object = new MyClass("Hello World");                   // Create an object of type MyClass and set its text to "Hello World"

    FunctorPtr functor = createFunctor(&MyClass:contains, object);  // Create a Functor (note the object!)

    bool result = (*functor)("World");                              // result == true
    bool result = (*functor)("test");                               // result == false
    @endcode

    Instead of assigning the object directly to the functor when creating it, you can also define
    it at any later point or when you call the functor. Note however that this works only with
    orxonox::FunctorMember.

    @code
    MyClass* object1 = new MyClass("Hello World");                  // Create an object
    MyClass* object2 = new MyClass("this is a test");               // Create another object

    FunctorMemberPtr functor = createFunctor(&MyClass:contains);    // Create a FunctorMember (note: no object this time)

    bool result = (*functor)("World");                              // result == false and an error: "Error: Can't execute FunctorMember, no object set."

    bool result = (*functor)(object1, "World");                     // result == true
    bool result = (*functor)(object1, "test");                      // result == false
    bool result = (*functor)(object2, "test");                      // result == true

    functor->setObject(object1);                                    // Assign an object to the FunctorMember

    bool result = (*functor)("World");                              // result == true (no error this time, because the object was set using setObject())
    @endcode
