[webkit-dev] Should we ever use std::function instead of WTF::Function?

[Filip Pizlo]

And ObjC blocks share instead of copying, which is more like SharedTask.  I think that’s another reason why adding copy constructors to WTF::Function that do block-like sharing under the hood is rather attractive.
