Yes. Funciton is always a piece of code (program) that does something. There is no need for different syntax. And you said that it is good to have these two types of syntax. It sounds like: "it is good to have knife and scissors to cut the _same_ thing, because they are not the same". > What are those programmers needs? Programmers need to protect name in a namespace.
