/// An Objective-C block.
///
/// Blocks are ObjC's equivalent of lambda functions.
///
/// FFIgen generates utility classes for each block signature referenced in the
/// API it is generating. These utils enable construction of an `ObjCBlock` from
/// a Dart `Function`, and invoking an `ObjCBlock` from Dart.
///
/// [T] is the signature of the block, as a Dart `Function`. The arguments and
/// returns of the `Function` should be specified as follows:
///  - For ObjC objects, use the FFIgen generated wrapper object.
///  - For ObjC blocks, use `ObjCBlock<...>`.
///  - For all other types, use the FFI type (eg `Int32` instead of `int`).
/// For example, the block type `int32_t (^)(NSString*)` would be represented in
/// Dart as `ObjCBlock<ffi.Int32 Function(NSString)>`. This is necessary to
/// fully distinguish all the block signatures. For instance, ObjC's `int32_t`
/// and `int64_t` both map to Dart's `int`, so we need to use the FFI types
/// `Int32`/`Int64`, but all ObjC objects have FFI type `Pointer<ObjCObject>` so
/// we use Dart wrapper objects like `NSString` instead. The best way to figure
/// out the block's type is to simply copy it from the FFIgen generated API.
