He means accepting any function no matter the return type or arguments. With
templates you can do this and it will remain type safe, non-templates can't do
this while remaining type safe. But then again you shouldn't really expect an
arbitrary function to be type safe at runtime, unless of course you specify the
types it must be, but then it isn't arbitrary in that context...
