+### Usage
+
+`cFunctionRef` is used whenever you call a normal function with a lambda. e.g.
+one of the `cWorld::DoWith` functions,
+
+ m_World->DoWithChunkAt(BlockPos, [](cChunk & a_Chunk) -> bool
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+ );
+
+It looks like you're calling it with a lambda but that would require
+`DoWithChunkAt` to be a template. The function is really being called with
+`cFunctionRef<bool(cChunk&)>` which is constructed from the lambda via a
+templated constructor. This gives you a generic pointer to the lambda which
+doesn't depend on the type of the function object it references.
+
+### Notes
+
+- This is similar to a `std::function` but doesn't copy the function object.
+This means that mutable function objects will be modified for the caller but
+would not be if using a `std::function` (See #3990 for implications of this).

+- A `cFunctionRef` has no empty state but is non-owning and so is safe to call as
+long as the referred object is still alive. */
