A rather pointless thread... But that last phrase is pure gibberish to
me. If I see foo($blah,$blah) in some code, I'll do a quick grep to see
if foo() is a locally defined function and if it isn't check if it is a
built-in function by checking the documentation. But perhaps I am a weird
and backwards sort of guy.
