/// A typedef used to determine if a function takes two arguments or not.
typedef _BinaryFunction(arg1, arg2);

/// Creates a Shelf handler that upgrades HTTP requests to WebSocket
/// connections.
///
/// Only valid WebSocket upgrade requests are upgraded. If a request doesn't
/// look like a WebSocket upgrade request, a 404 Not Found is returned; if a
/// request looks like an upgrade request but is invalid, a 400 Bad Request is
/// returned; and if a request is a valid upgrade request but has an origin that
/// doesn't match [allowedOrigins] (see below), a 403 Forbidden is returned.
/// This means that this can be placed first in a [Cascade] and only upgrade
/// requests will be handled.
///
/// The [onConnection] must take a [WebSocketChannel] as its first argument. It
/// may also take a string, the [WebSocket subprotocol][], as its second
/// argument. The subprotocol is determined by looking at the client's
/// `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header and selecting the first entry that also
/// appears in [protocols]. If no subprotocols are shared between the client and
/// the server, `null` will be passed instead. Note that if [onConnection] takes
/// two arguments, [protocols] must be passed.
///
/// [WebSocket subprotocol]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-1.9
///
/// If [allowedOrigins] is passed, browser connections will only be accepted if
/// they're made by a script from one of the given origins. This ensures that
/// malicious scripts running in the browser are unable to fake a WebSocket
/// handshake. Note that non-browser programs can still make connections freely.
/// See also the WebSocket spec's discussion of [origin considerations][].
