The ``.gas()`` option is available on all three methods, while the ``.value()`` option is not supported for ``delegatecall``.
.. note::
All contracts inherit the members of address, so it is possible to query the balance of the
current contract using ``this.balance``.
All contracts can be converted to ``address`` type, so it is possible to query the balance of the
current contract using ``address(this).balance``.
.. note::
The use of ``callcode`` is discouraged and will be removed in the future.
