In other words, a function literal is an expression that
evaluates to either a delegate or a function pointer.
I'm not sure I'm understanding this, but it seems ok;
You are correct that, strictly speaking, it is wrong to say
that a function literal "is" an anonymous function (rather than
"refers to" or "points to" one). However, the distinction
usually does not matter in practice, so most D programmers use
the terms interchangeably.

My complaint is about that a function is not a same as an
expression that functions return values, but expressions being
evaluated to provide values.
