=head1 NAME
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->invocant; # undef
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 $invocant = Function::Parameters::info(method () { 42 })->invocant; # '$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. The following
methods are available:
=head2 $info->invocant
Returns the name of the variable into which the first argument is
L<C<shift>|perlfunc/shift>ed automatically, or C<undef> if no such thing
exists. This will usually return C<'$self'> for methods.
=head2 $info->positional_required
Returns a list of the names of the required positional parameters (or a count
in scalar context).
=head2 $info->positional_optional
Returns a list of the names of the optional positional parameters (or a count
in scalar context).
=head2 $info->named_required
Returns a list of the names of the required named parameters (or a count
in scalar context).
=head2 $info->named_optional
Returns a list of the names of the optional named parameters (or a count
in scalar context).
=head2 $info->slurpy
Returns the name of the final array or hash that gobbles up all remaining
arguments, or C<undef> if no such thing exists.
As a special case, functions defined without an explicit parameter list (i.e.
without C<( )>) will return C<'@_'> here because they accept any number of
arguments.
=head2 $info->args_min
Returns the minimum number of arguments this function requires. This is
computed as follows: Invocant 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.
=head2 $info->args_max
Returns the maximum number of arguments this function accepts. This is computed
as follows: If there is any named or slurpy parameter, the result is C<Inf>.
Otherwise the result is the sum of all invocant and positional parameters.
=head2 Experimental feature: Types
All the methods described above actually return parameter objects wherever the
description says "name". 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 use 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).
