/// Simple wrapper around std::function<void(raw_ostream&)>.
/// This class is useful to construct print helpers for raw_ostream.

/// Example:
///     Printable PrintRegister(unsigned Register) {
///       return Printable([Register](raw_ostream &OS) {
///         OS << getRegisterName(Register);
///       }
///     }
///     ... OS << PrintRegister(Register); ...
///
/// Implementation note: Ideally this would just be a typedef, but doing so
/// leads to operator << being ambiguous as function has matching constructors
/// in some STL versions. I have seen the problem on gcc 4.6 libstdc++ and
/// microsoft STL.
