     This function is necessary because you can't dynamically create a
     function of the { a, b ? foo, ... }: format, but some facilities
     like callPackage expect to be able to query expected arguments.

     This works both with nix-native { a, b ? foo, ... }: style
     functions and functions with args set with 'setFunctionArgs'. It
     has the same return type and semantics as builtins.functionArgs.
