A C-style function is also a function-object in C++ because it has
a calling operator.

Lambdas can be assigned to function<>-object to make them runtime
-polymorphic. Otherwise they can be generic types, which are compile
-time polymorphic - like the function-object for std::sort();

I never said that and having sth. like class Class in Java is
beyond C++'s performance constraints.
