Sorry, the documentation is wrong.  Although I could just skip the g:,
in case some people have already been using this in plugins.

 Also, what is the reason to restrict this case:
 
 function Foo()
 endfunction
 
 let b:my_func = function('Foo')

What do you mean?  That works.

Yes. It broke several plugins that i'm using.

I'm getting this error:

E884: Function name cannot contain a colon: b:my_func

This breaks a lot of plugins, for no reason whatsoever.  The authors
have simply trusted the docs that g: is fine, they shouldn't be punished
for that.

OK, I'll allow that then.

Sorry, I tried with an older Vim.  I'll see how that should be fixed.
