Somewhat of an aside but every time people talk about function 
signatures i cant help having a mental image of 20 people trying 
to squeeze through a single doorway. There's so much to express 
on function signatures it feels like 90% of the complexity of the 
language is right there on the entry point to a function. 
constness, safe, system, nogcn, nothrow, lifetimes, refness, auto 
this or that, return on parameters, or after the function. then 
you add this with delegates and how they relate to what they are 
being passed to or called with.
