--	-- Define metatable behaviour. Arguments are memoized in the metaArgs table,	-- and are only fetched from the argument tables once. Fetching arguments	-- from the argument tables is the most resource-intensive step in this	-- module, so we try and avoid it where possible. For this reason, nil	-- arguments are also memoized, in the nilArgs table. Also, we keep a record	-- in the metatable of when pairs and ipairs have been called, so we do not	-- run pairs and ipairs on the argument tables more than once. We also do	-- not run ipairs on fargs and pargs if pairs has already been run, as all	-- the arguments will already have been copied over.	--
