///     return TfPyCall<RetType>(callable)(arg1, arg2, ... argN);
/// \endcode
/// Generally speaking, TfPyCall instances may be copied, assigned, destroyed,
/// and invoked without the client holding the GIL.  However, if the \a Return
/// template parameter is a \a pxr_boost::python::object (or a derived class, such
/// as list or tuple) then the client must hold the GIL in order to invoke the
/// call operator.
