Function::Parameters::Info - Information about parameter lists

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Function::Parameters;
  
  fun foo($x, $y, :$hello, :$world = undef) {}
  
  my $info = Function::Parameters::info \&foo;
  my @p0 = $info->invocants;            # ()
  my @p1 = $info->positional_required;  # ('$x', '$y')
  my @p2 = $info->positional_optional;  # ()
  my @p3 = $info->named_required;       # ('$hello')
  my @p4 = $info->named_optional;       # ('$world')
  my $p5 = $info->slurpy;               # undef
  my $min = $info->args_min;  # 4
  my $max = $info->args_max;  # inf
  
  my @invocants = Function::Parameters::info(method () { 42 })->invocants;
  # ('$self')
  
  my $slurpy = Function::Parameters::info(fun (@) {})->slurpy;  # '@'

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<C<Function::Parameters::info>|Function::Parameters/Introspection> returns
objects of this class to describe parameter lists of functions. See below for
L</Parameter Objects>.  The following methods are available:

=head3 $info->invocants

Returns a list of parameter objects for the variables into which initial
arguments are L<C<shift>|perlfunc/shift ARRAY>ed automatically (or a count in
scalar context). This will usually return C<()> for normal functions and
C<('$self')> for methods.

=head3 $info->positional_required

Returns a list of parameter objects for the required positional parameters (or
a count in scalar context).

=head3 $info->positional_optional

Returns a list of parameter objects for the optional positional parameters (or
a count in scalar context).

=head3 $info->named_required

Returns a list of parameter objects for the required named parameters (or a
count in scalar context).

=head3 $info->named_optional

Returns a list of parameter objects for the optional named parameters (or a
count in scalar context).

=head3 $info->slurpy

Returns a parameter object for the final array or hash that gobbles up all remaining
arguments, or C<undef> if no such thing exists.

=head3 $info->args_min

Returns the minimum number of arguments this function requires. This is
computed as follows: Invocants and required positional parameters count 1 each.
Optional parameters don't count. Required named parameters count 2 each (key +
value). Slurpy parameters don't count either because they accept empty lists.

=head3 $info->args_max

Returns the maximum number of arguments this function accepts. This is computed
as follows: If there are any named or slurpy parameters, the result is C<Inf>.
Otherwise the result is the number of all invocants and positional parameters.

=head3 $info->invocant

Similar to L</$info-E<gt>invocants> above: Returns C<undef> if the number of
invocants is 0, a parameter object for the invocant if there is exactly 1, and
throws an exception otherwise.

=head3 Parameter Objects

Many of the methods described above return parameter objects.  These objects
have two methods: C<name>, which returns the name of the parameter (as a plain
string), and C<type>, which returns the corresponding type constraint object
(or undef if there was no type specified).

This should be invisible if you don't care about types because the objects also
L<overload|overload> stringification to call C<name>. That is, if you treat
parameter objects like strings, they behave like strings (i.e. their names).
