#
The move_only_function class template provides polymorphic wrappers that generalize the notion of a callable object ([func.def]).
These wrappers can store, move, and call arbitrary callable objects, given a call signature.

#
Recommended practice: Implementations should avoid the use of dynamically allocated memory for a small contained value.
[Note 1: 
Such small-object optimization can only be applied to a type T for which is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<T> is true.
