{{alias}}.prototype.bind( thisArg, ...args )
    Creates a new function which, when called, has its `this` keyword set to the

    > var g = f.bind( null, 1 );
    > g( 2 )
    3

{{alias}}.prototype.toString()
    Returns a string representation of the function.

    Examples
    --------
    > var f = new {{alias}}( 'x', 'y', 'return x + y' );
    > f.toString()
    'function anonymous( x, y ) { return x + y; }'

{{alias}}.prototype.length
    The number of arguments expected by the function.

    Examples
    --------
    > var f = new {{alias}}( 'x', 'y', 'return x + y' );
    > f.length
    2

{{alias}}.prototype.name
    The name of the function.

    Examples
    --------
    > var f = new {{alias}}( 'x', 'y', 'return x + y' );
    > f.name
    'anonymous'

    > f.name = 'add';
    > f.name
    'add'

{{alias}}.prototype.prototype
