OK. But this isn't how I think. Is this - 1 - one?
Or is is a char that designates the digit one?
And, are you suggesting every time a function or
"function symbol designation" is used, the programmer
should check the context to determine if what is
expected is the function, or a symbol designating
a function?
And again, when and why are functions refered to not
using symbols to designate them?
Isn't the most natural way to refer to a function (or
anything else) just to type its name?
What are we gaining from having people and not
computers deal with this distinction?
