//! Delegate member functions of a C++ class to externally-specified functions
/*!
 * This base class provides functions for setting delegates for the member
 * functions of a C++ class at runtime. The purpose of this capability is to
 * allow the class to be extended using functions defined in any programming
 * language that provides a C API for calling functions in that language.
 *
 * Delegates are specified as `std::function` objects that are responsible for
 * encapsulating the data specific to the target language and calling the
 * appropriate function in the target language. For methods with a return value, the
 * `std::function` has a modified signature where the return value is passed by
 * reference as the first argument and the method returns an `int`. The delegate should
 * return zero if it does not set the arguments value, and a non-zero value if it does.
 *
 * Delegated methods can be specified to either "replace" the original class's
 * method, or to run "before" or "after" the original method, using the `when`
 * parameter of the `setDelegate` method. There are two special cases for delegates of
 * methods with return values:
 * - If the "before" delegate specifies a value for the return parameter (and then
 *   returns with a non-zero status value), this value will be returned and the original
 *   method will not be called. Otherwise, the original method will be called and its
 *   value will be returned.
 * - If an "after" delegate specifies a return value (and returns with a non-zero
 *   status value), this value will be added to the value returned by the original
 *   method, and this combined result will be then be returned. The meaning of "added"
 *   is determined by the `+` operator for the return type, for example addition for
 *   numeric types or concatenation for strings.
 *
 * ## Implementation for each delegated function type
 *
 * Several functions and member variables are defined in this base class for each
 * distinct function signature that can be delegated by a derived class such as
 * ReactorDelegator. These are:
 * - The `install` function stores the address of a function that will be called by
 *   a derived delegator class in the corresponding `m_funcs_...` map, and sets the
 *   default implementation of this method (which should be to call the base class
 *   implementation). For delegates with a return type, a copy of this default
 *   implementation is also stored in the corresponding `m_base_...` map
 * - The `setDelegate` function wraps the user-provided delegate in a function that
 *   handles whether the delegate is to be called before, after, or instead of the base
 *   class's implementation. This function is then stored at the address specified in
 *   the corresponding `m_funcs_...` map.
 * - `m_funcs_...` is a mapping between member function names and the addresses
 *   of the functions that will be called to implement these functions in the derived
 *   delegator class.
 * - `m_base_...` is a mapping between member function names and the default
 *   implementations of these member functions, for delegates with return values
 *
 * Additional implementation for each function type is specific to the programming
 * language that the delegate is written in. For the Python delegates, see additional
 * documentation in `delegator.pyx`.
 *
 * ## Implementation for specific delegated functions
 *
 * Beyond the implementation of particular function signatures, there are no elements
 * of the Delegator class that are specific to individual delegated functions, which
 * are handled by derived classes such as ReactorDelegator, which will also inherit from
 * another base class such as Reactor.
 *
 * Delegation of a member function (for example, `Reactor::eval`) is handled by several
 * elements:
 * - A `std::function` member variable to hold a delegate function, or its default
 *   implementation.
 * - An override of the member function whose implementation calls the stored delegate.
 * - A call to `install` from the constructor of the derived delegator class, which
 *   takes the member function name, a reference to the `std::function` member variable
 *   described above, and a lambda function that implements the default behavior, that
 *   is, calling the equivalent base class method.
 *
 * Additional implementation for each function is specific to the programming language
 * that the delegate is written in. For Python delegates, see additional documentation
 * in `delegator.pyx`.
