Rémi Verschelde 967bfb0c4a doc: Remove revision.module_config from version string
It is now "3.0-alpha" instead of "3.0.alpha.custom_build{,.mono}",
limits unnecessary diffs.

<brief_description>
Reference to a function in an object.
</brief_description>
<description>
In GDScript, functions are not [i]first-class objects[/i]. This means it is impossible to store them directly as variables, return them from another function, or pass them as arguments.
However, by creating a [code]FuncRef[/code] using the [method @GDScript.funcref] function, a reference to a function in a given object can be created, passed around and called.
