`FnMut` wherever an `FnOnce` is called for, and you can use an `Fn` wherever an `FnMut` or `FnOnce`
is called for.
When you define a function that takes a closure, you should take `FnOnce` if you can (i.e. you call it once), or `FnMut`
else, and last `Fn`. This allows the most flexibility for the caller.
In contrast, when you have a closure, the most flexible you can have is `Fn` (it can be passed everywhere), then `FnMut`,
and lastly `FnOnce`.
The compiler also infers `Copy` (e.g. for `add_3`) and `Clone` (e.g. `multiply_sum`),
depending on what the closure captures.
