+NB: `typed_callable(Int, Int)` actually only consists of types already present in
+`Base` Julia, so it's just a nicer interface for functionality that already comes
+with Julia:
+
+```julia-repl
+julia> typed_callable(Int, Int)
+Base.Fix2{typeof(typeassert), Type{Int64}}(typeassert, Int64) ∘ Int64

+The three-argument version of `typed_callable` depends on a type defined in this
+package, though.

 ### Use case 2: dispatch on callables with a certain type signature (kind of)
 
 This is what many newcomers to Julia ask for, especially when coming from a
