The show must go on...
anonymous function - `lambda' - to be honest, to me it has just been
a cute little function inside a set/list/aggregate function,
where no name is needed, but I take it lambda does other
things elsewhere?
recursive function - see this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2020-10/msg00422.html
mutually recursive functions - difficult to debug, e.g. GNU HURD
overloaded function - two functions with the same name. resolution is
done by time, context, or perhaps by the number/types of arguments?
higher-order function - a function that accepts a function as an
arguments. sounds like the list functions above, maybe higher-order
functions can do this with any function? but isn't this always
possible, anyway? with names, anyway. with code maybe macros are used?
(not keyboard macros). personally I'm a basic technician and does not
bother with that advanced stuff
inherited function - classroom whiteboard drawing that no one uses
anyway
a function of his current mood - Emanuel Berg's post
