// <synopsis>
// This class is provided to enable easy specialization for the actual
// <src>FunctionWrapper</src> class.
// </synopsis>

// <example>
// <srcblock>
// Float func(const Vector<Float>& x) {return x(0)*x(1);}        // x*y
// // Convert C++ functions to Function
// FunctionWrapper<Float> Func(func, 2);
// </srcblock>

// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators and exp() function. Current
//	implementation only tested for real types (and their AutoDiffs).
// </templating>

// <thrown>
//    <li> Assertion in debug mode if attempt is made to set a negative width
//    <li> AipsError if incorrect parameter number specified.
// </thrown>
