This version adds:
* Binding the `this` pointer in a function pointer `call`.
* Anonymous functions (in Rust closure syntax). Simplifies creation of single-use ad-hoc functions.
* Currying of function pointers.
* Closures - auto-currying of anonymous functions to capture shared variables from the external scope.
* Binding the `this` pointer in a function pointer `call`.
* Capturing call scope via `func!(...)` syntax.

Some features are for performance. For example, using [`only_i32`] or [`only_i64`] disables all other integer types (such as `u16`).
Use Only One Integer Type
------------------------
Some features are for performance. For example, using [`only_i32`] or [`only_i64`] disables all other integer types (such as `u16`).
If only a single integer type is needed in scripts - most of the time this is the case - it is best to avoid registering
lots of functions related to other integer types that will never be used. As a result, [`Engine`] creation will be faster
because fewer functions need to be loaded.

Minimize Size of `Dynamic`
-------------------------
Turning on [`no_float`], and [`only_i32`] makes the key [`Dynamic`] data type only 8 bytes small on 32-bit targets
while normally it can be up to 16 bytes (e.g. on x86/x64 CPU's) in order to hold an `i64` or `f64`.

Therefore, functions taking `String` parameters should use `ImmutableString` or `&str` (which maps to `ImmutableString`)
for the best performance with Rhai.
Disable Closures
----------------
Support for [closures], including capturing shared values, adds material overhead to script evaluation.
This is because every data access must be checked whether it is a shared value, and if so, take a read
or write lock before reading it.
Use [`no_closure`] to disable closure and capturing support and optimize the hot path
because there is no need to take locks for shared data.
