copyable_function& operator=( const copyable_function& other ); | (1) | (since C++26)
copyable_function& operator=( copyable_function&& other ); | (2) | (since C++26)
copyable_function& operator=( std::nullptr_t ) noexcept; | (3) | (since C++26)
template< class F > copyable_function& operator=( F&& f ); | (4) | (since C++26)

Assigns a new target to `std::copyable_function` or destroys its target.

1) Assigns a copy of the target of other to *this as if by executing auto(other).swap(*this).
2) Moves the target of other to *this or destroys the target of *this (if any) if other is empty, by auto(std::move(other)).swap(*this). other is in a valid state with an unspecified value after move assignment.
3) Destroys the current target if it exists. *this is empty after the call.
4) Sets the target of *this to the callable f, or destroys the current target if f is a null function pointer, a null pointer to member function, or an empty `std::copyable_function`, as if by executing copyable_function( std::forward <F>(f)).swap(*this);. This overload participates in overload resolution only if the constructor of `copyable_function` from `F` participates in overload resolution. The program is ill-formed or has undefined behavior if the selected constructor call is ill-formed or has undefined behavior.
