// VarParam is an optional specification of additional "varargs" the
// function accepts. If this is non-nil then callers may provide an
// arbitrary number of additional arguments (after those matching with
// the fixed parameters in Params) that conform to the given specification,
// which will appear as additional values in the slices of values
// provided to the type and implementation functions.
VarParam *Parameter
// Type is the TypeFunc that decides the return type of the function
// given its arguments, which may be Unknown. See the documentation
// of TypeFunc for more information.
//
// Use StaticReturnType if the function's return type does not vary
// depending on its arguments.
Type TypeFunc
// Impl is the ImplFunc that implements the function's behavior.
//
// Functions are expected to behave as pure functions, and not create
// any visible side-effects.
//
// If a TypeFunc is also provided, the value returned from Impl *must*
// conform to the type it returns, or a call to the function will panic.
