/**
*
* A KBFunction
object is a facade for a #$Function-Denotational
* in the Cyc KB.
*
* A N-ary function is a many-one relation, between the N-tuple of the domain elements to
* a range element. Functions can be used to create "non-atomic terms"
* or #$CycLClosedNonAtomicTerm.
*
* The class provides a method to create new functional terms, which can in turn be used in
* other assertions, just as constants are.
*
* A new function is by default made a #$ReifiableFunction
in the underlying
* Cyc Knowledge Base. A future version of the API will support un-reifiable functions.
*
* @param type of CycObject core
