572.3.10.3 Functions
58</H3>
59
60<P>
61Function objects are created by function definitions. The only
62operation on a function object is to call it:
63<code><var>func</var>(<var>argument-list</var>)</code>.
64
65<P>
66There are really two flavors of function objects: built-in functions
67and user-defined functions. Both support the same operation (to call
68the function), but the implementation is different, hence the
69different object types.
