Fair enough. Then, bearing in mind that this is going to be viewed as
external documentation (and thus the viewer wouldn't necessarily have the
benefit of being able to see what it does internally), I personally would
put something like

Returns the result of calling F2().

This then allows them to view F2's documentation in turn, to see what THAT
does - they can follow the chain to find what they need to know.
