/**
* This abstract class is provided to allow user-written extension functions to be implemented
* with the full capabilities of functions that are an intrinsic part of the Saxon product.
* In particular, the class has the opportunity to save data from the static context and
* to optimize itself at compile time.
* Instances of this class are created by calling the method makeCallExpression() on the
* {@link ExtensionFunctionDefinition} object that represents the definition of the function.
* The compiler will create one instance of this class for each function call appearing in the
* expression being compiled. The class must therefore have a public zero-argument constructor.
* The compiler will ensure that the supplied arguments in the extension function call are converted
* if necessary to the declared argument types, by applying the standard conversion rules. The result
* returned by the function is checked against the declared return type, but no conversion takes place:
* the returned value must strictly conform to the declared type.
* Note that an ExtensionFunctionCall is trusted; calls are allowed even if the configuration option
* {@link net.sf.saxon.lib.FeatureKeys#ALLOW_EXTERNAL_FUNCTIONS} is false. In cases where an ExtensionFunctionCall
* is used to load and execute untrusted code, it should check this configuration option before doing so.
*
* @since 9.2; modified in 9.5 to use Sequence rather than SequenceIterator for the arguments and result

* while computing the sequence might not be thrown until the relevant item is actually read from the sequence.
* If the result is a single item, it can be returned directly, since single items all implement Sequence.
