Those guys really like to spell things out don't they? Buried somewhere
in there is .... well I'm not sure exactly!
Since the subject was function definitions, I assumed it was. Then I
looked more carefully and thought it must have been a function call.
Then I looked yet again, and it might be function definition after all.
But yet, you say this is something returned by a function. So I don't
know what the hell it might be. What a language! (If C++ had never been
invented, and someone presented something like this, we'd all think it
was a wind-up.)
