/// The kind of a function definition.
///
/// - `Fn`: a regular function, callable from other Leo code.
/// - `FinalFn`: a `final fn`, runs in the on-chain finalize context.
/// - `EntryPoint`: a top-level program function — compiles to an Aleo
///   `transition`. May or may not have a `final {}` block.
/// - `Finalize`: the synthesized `final {}` block of an `EntryPoint`. Created
///   during compilation, not written by the user.
/// - `View`: a read-only `view fn` (V15). Top-level program component that
///   reads finalize-store state and returns plaintext to external callers.
///   Off-consensus, no transitions, no proofs, no state writes.
