           When passing a C++ function as an argument to another C++
           function via Python, every function call would normally involve
           a full C++ -> Python -> C++ roundtrip, which can be prohibitive.
           Here, we try to at least detect the case where the function is
           stateless (i.e. function pointer or lambda function without
           captured variables), in which case the roundtrip can be avoided.
