41<a name="id-1.3.41.13.7.3.4"></a><h2>Description</h2>
42<p>Dispatches a type erased function.</p>
43<p><code class="computeroutput">Op</code> must be a primitive concept which is present in <code class="computeroutput">Concept</code>. Its signature determines how the arguments of  <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="call.html" title="Function call">call</a></code> are handled. If the argument is a <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="placeholder.html" title="Struct placeholder">placeholder</a></code>,  <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="call.html" title="Function call">call</a></code> expects an <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="any.html" title="Class template any">any</a></code> using that <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="placeholder.html" title="Struct placeholder">placeholder</a></code>. This <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="any.html" title="Class template any">any</a></code> is unwrapped by <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="call.html" title="Function call">call</a></code>. The type that it stores must be the same type specified by <code class="computeroutput">binding</code>. Any arguments that are not placeholders in the signature of <code class="computeroutput">Op</code> are passed through unchanged.</p>
44<p>If <code class="computeroutput">binding</code> is not specified, it will be deduced from the arguments. Naturally this requires at least one argument to be an <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="any.html" title="Class template any">any</a></code>. In this case, all <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="any.html" title="Class template any">any</a></code> arguments must have the same <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="binding.html" title="Class template binding">binding</a></code>.</p>
