In contrast, it requires a heap // allocation and is not trivially copyable. It should be used when there are // ownership requirements (e.g. partial application of arguments to a function // stored for asynchronous execution). // // Note: `base::FunctionRef` is similar to `absl::FunctionRef`, but // with stricter conversions between function types.
