122<p>Class template <a href="function.html" title="Class template function">function</a> is a thin
123      wrapper around the numbered class templates <a href="../functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">function0</a>, <a href="../functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">function1</a>, etc. It accepts a
124      function type with N arguments and will will derive from
125      <a href="../functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">functionN</a> instantiated with the arguments
126      it receives.</p>
127<p>The semantics of all operations in class template
128      <a href="function.html" title="Class template function">function</a> are equivalent to that of the
129      underlying <a href="../functionN.html" title="Class template functionN">functionN</a> object, although
130      additional member functions are required to allow proper copy
131      construction and copy assignment of function objects.</p>
