/** Abstract base class for Java function implementations that take one argument and 
 * return one value. 
 * <p>
 * Subclasses need only implement {@link LuaValue#call(LuaValue)} to complete this class, 
 * simplifying development.  
 * All other uses of {@link #call()}, {@link #invoke(Varargs)},etc, 
 * are routed through this method by this class, 
 * dropping or extending arguments with {@code nil} values as required.
 * <p>
 * If more than one argument are required, or no arguments are required, 
 * or variable argument or variable return values, 
 * then use one of the related function
 * {@link ZeroArgFunction}, {@link TwoArgFunction}, {@link ThreeArgFunction}, or {@link VarArgFunction}.
 * <p>
 * See {@link LibFunction} for more information on implementation libraries and library functions.
