// BindBlock builds a callback from an Objective-C block. Example usages:
//
// Closure closure = BindBlock(^{DoSomething();});
//
// Callback<int(void)> callback = BindBlock(^{return 42;});
//
// Callback<void(const std::string&, const std::string&)> callback =
//     BindBlock(^(const std::string& arg0, const std::string& arg1) {
//         ...
//     });
//
// These variadic templates will accommodate any number of arguments, however
// the underlying templates in bind_internal.h and callback.h are limited to
// seven total arguments, and the bound block itself is used as one of these
// arguments, so functionally the templates are limited to binding blocks with
// zero through six arguments.
