	<brief_description>
		An object representing a method in a certain object that can be called.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[Callable] is a first class object which can be held in variables and passed to functions. It represents a given method in an [Object], and is typically used for signal callbacks.
		[b]Example:[/b]
		[codeblock]
		var callable = Callable(self, "print_args")
		func print_args(arg1, arg2, arg3 = ""):
		    prints(arg1, arg2, arg3)
		func test():
		    callable.call("hello", "world")  # Prints "hello world".
		    callable.call(Vector2.UP, 42, callable)  # Prints "(0, -1) 42 Node(Node.gd)::print_args".
		    callable.call("invalid")  # Invalid call, should have at least 2 arguments.
