You're making it too complicated there, Dave. :-)
function test() { alert('here'); };
jQuery( test );
test; // test is now defined, but (usually) not yet executed

Lots of reasons. I just wrote some code exactly like Dave's. I had a test
page that ran a function (coincidentally also called test) at load time.
Then I added a "Repeat" button to re-run the same test.
