'finish' is the name of a set of overloaded functions,
not the name of a single function.
The name of the function is
finish of (int)
If there is only one function in the set, you can also use
the finish
as the name:
signal(SIGINT, the finish);
This will break if you introduce another overload called
'finish' into the scope. The more explicit name
signal(SIGINT, finish of (int));
will only break if you introduce another function
fun finish: int -> ..
into the scope. When doing a function call:
finish 1
you don't need this because overload resolution calculates
which function it is for you, based on the argument type.
You might think it could do that from context in:
signal(SIGINT, finish);
too, but the problem is the type of signal's argument
is used for overload resolution, so it has to be known.
