    Generate a function declaration based on the given template.
    
    Sections of the template between '%(', '%)' pairs are repeated n times. If '%:'
    appears in the middle, it denotes the beginning of a '%'.
    
    Sections of the template between '%{', '%}' pairs are ommitted if n == 0.
    
    %n is transformed into the string representation of 1..n for each
    repetition within %(...%). Elsewhere, %n is transformed into the
    string representation of n

    %- is transformed into the string representation of 0..n-1 for
    each repetition within %(...%). Elsewhere, %- is transformed into the
    string representation of n-1.

    %+ is transformed into the string representation of 2..n+1 for
    each repetition within %(...%). Elsewhere, %- is transformed into the
    string representation of n+1.

    %x is always transformed into the string representation of n

    %z, where z is a digit, selects the corresponding additional
    argument. If that argument is callable, it is called with three
    arguments:
        key  - the string representation of 'z'
        n    - the iteration number
        args - a tuple consisting of all the additional arguments to
               this function
    otherwise, the selected argument is converted to a string representation


    for example,
    
    >>> gen_function('%1 abc%x(%(int a%n%:, %));%{ // all args are ints%}', 2, 'void')
    'void abc2(int a0, int a1); // all args are ints'
