Hey Jens, thanks for your help!
For a concrete example, there is a javascript function in the library
called delayedCall(), which takes in among its arguments, an arbitrary
function, and an optional array of parameters for that
function. Ideally, I would like to have a simple @JsMethod wrapper around
this function, but I can't quite figure out how to model the function
parameter, since it can be a function with arbitrary
parameter types, etc... but when using a @JsFunction annotated interface,
it looks like I need to predetermine at least the types/number of
parameters. Using a generic method I can use an
arbitrary parameter and return type, but I still don't have the freedom to
have arbitrary number of parameters with arbitrary types. Is there any way
around this, or is this just one
of those JS things not possible in Java.
