So C is a function name, and 'C(){2}' (which seems to be something new) 
defines that function to return '2' with a type of 'int'?

And A is ... a variable? A function? An alias for function C? An alias 
for whatever C happens to return?

Forget C, this is one of best esolangs I've seen described. But this is 
the wrong forum for it.

Are these higher-order functions, so that calling A() returns a new 
function (a closure in this case)?

In that case you're calling it wrong. You need:

     F = A(3)         # generate a new function equivalent to C()*3

     F()              # returns C()*3

But this is more interesting when F takes an argument too.

So you've just discovered functional programming. But then, most of this 
stuff I believe is already possible in C++, if you were to learn it 
properly.
