+# Purpose: Special `func` command that executes built-in functions with
+# optional arguments. Usage: func <identifier> [arguments].
+#
+# Intended usage is with command-substitution (&{}). For example:
+#
+# factadd img /call echo https://google.com/search?q=&{func urlencode $args}&tbm=isch
+#
+# The above would invoke the function 'urlencode' on $args and then replace
+# the command-substitution with the result, creating a simple Google Image
+# Search factoid command.
