// <synopsis>
// A <src>Function</src> is used for classes which map a
// scalar or n-dimensional Vector of type <src>T</src> into a <src>T</src>.
// The object also has zero or more parameters which can be masked
// if necessary, and be used in the <src>Fitting</src> module, and, implicitly,
// in the <linkto class=AutoDiff>AutoDiff</linkto> differentiation module.
//
// The parameter interface is provided by the
// <linkto class="FunctionParam"><src>FunctionParam</src></linkto> class.
//
// A Function can have a <src>name()</src> which can be used in generic
// interfaces.
//
// The function calls implemented are:
// <ul>
// <li> <src>operator()()</src>
// <li> <src>operator()(const T &x)</src>
// <li> <src>operator()(const Vector<T> &x)</src>
// <li> <src>operator()(Function::FunctionArg x)</src>
// <li> <src>operator()(const T &x, const T &y)</src> (for 2D)
// <li> <src>operator()(const T &x, const T &y, const T &z)</src> (for 3D)
// </ul>
// The <src>T</src> in the above is the <src>Function::ArgType</src>
// as derived from the <linkto class="FunctionTraits">FunctionTraits</linkto>
// class.
// These calls are (in debug mode) tested for the correct number of arguments,
// after which they call a <src>T eval(FunctionArg x) const = 0</src> to
// be implemented in derived classes. The derived class should also implement 
// an <src>uInt ndim() const = 0</src>. The derived class can access the
// nth parameter with the <src>[n]</src> operator, and the corresponding
// mask with <src>mask(n)</src> method.
// The variables are referenced with <src>x[i]</src>.
//
// </synopsis>

// <example>
// A complete implementation of say an <src>A.sin(2pi.f.x)</src> with
// parameters amplitude(<em>A</em>) and frequency(<em>f</em>) and variable
// time(<em>x</em>) could be:

// <motivation>
// A function of more than one variable was required for a function which

// non-linear least squares fitting.
// </motivation>
//
// <templating arg=T>
//    <li> Besides the requirements set by the
//    <linkto class="Functional">Functional</linkto> base class, it must be
//    possible to form a <src>Vector<T></src>.
// </templating>
//
// <todo asof="2005/01/20">
//   <li> At some point, we may want to implement a letter-envelope class,
//   implement function arithmetic, etc.
//   <li> use maybe Poolstack for static Vector
