// function specialization.

// to get_arity, instead of having to pass its decltype as a template argument.

// The return value is a new function taking get_arity<Func> - sizeof...(Args) many arguments, with the first

// This is different to a call with std::bind(fun, args...), as the callable object created by std::bind would
// in this case now take zero arguments, whilst bind_first still expects the remaining arguments to be provided
//
// For now, providing instances of std::placeholders in Args is not allowed, as the implications of this are
// unclear if sizeof...(Args) != get_arity<Func>. The enable_if_t makes sure none of the Args value is a placeholder.
