Methods

	meta_func	Constructs an instance from a given node.
	arg	Returns the type of the i-th argument of a member function.
	arity	Returns the number of arguments accepted by a member function.
	id	Returns the identifier assigned to a type.
	invoke overload	Invokes the underlying function, if possible.
	is_const	Indicates whether a member function is constant or not.
	is_static	Indicates whether a member function is static or not.
	operator bool	Returns true if an object is valid, false otherwise.
	prop overload	Returns a range to visit registered meta properties.
	prop overload	Lookup function for registered meta properties.
	ret	Returns the return type of a member function.
